    Brimming with fresh cherries and topped with a crunchy streusel, this tempting tart is a great way to end dinner on a sweet note. It's fast to fix, looks elegant and tastes delicious. Marion Lee, Mount Hope, Ontario

    Ingredients:
    Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
    2/3 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    Dash salt
    4 cups fresh tart cherries, pitted or frozen pitted tart cherries, thawed
    1/8 teaspoon almond extract

    TOPPING:
    1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 tablespoon slivered almonds
    2 tablespoons cold butter

    Directions:
    1. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom; trim edges.

    2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in cherries; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Pour into crust.

    3. For topping, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and almonds. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
