1 ¼ cups flour

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

Step 2: Add the Cherries

Dump both cans of cherries in a cast iron skillet with walls.

Step 3: Make the Topping

Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oats in a small bowl. Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and combine with a fork until clumps form.

Step 4: Sprinkle and Bake

Sprinkle the crisp topping all over the cherries. Cover with tin foil and place on top of the Solo Stove griddle. Bake the crisp for 10 minutes with the tin foil on. Remove the foil and allow the crisp to finish baking for 15 minutes.
