3/4 cup firmly packed
brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
Batter:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose
flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 (21-ounce) can cherry filling and topping
For topping, combine sugar,
flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl; mix
well. Cut in butter to make a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
For batter, combine flour,
sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in
butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and milk;
mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix;
batter will be lumpy. Spread half the batter into a lightly greased
13x9x2-inch baking pan. Spoon cherry filling evenly over batter.
Top with remaining batter. Sprinkle reserved topping over batter.
Bake in a preheated 350*F
oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Makes 12 servings.
