Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 lb. sweet cherries, halved and pitted (about 1 1/4 packed cups)
1/3 C. honey
4 T. unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 C. sliced almonds
1/2 C. rolled oats
Yogurt, for serving
Directions:
Directions:
1) Heat oven to 350º F. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.

2) In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla — it will spatter slightly — then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.

3) Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

Personal Notes:
If you love cobblers and crisps, this simple dish can be prepared for breakfast or dessert. Chewy clusters of almonds and oats caramelize and brown in the oven while the bed of sweet cherries they rest over turns tender and juicy. Serve warm with yogurt and some of the warm cherry sauce drizzled over top, and maybe even a shaving of dark chocolate or orange zest.
