This is one of the best desserts I have ever had. I love cherry pie, but this was even better because it had all the goodness of a cherry pie AND a streusel. What more can a girl ask for? I must admit, I had to have a piece fo this for breakfast it was sooooo good. My mother always says if it has fruit and oatmeal in it, it is legal for breakfast.

I should mention that I could not find tart cherries anywhere in town, so I used dark, sweet, pitted frozen cherries and they worked just fine in this recipe. I also increased the almond extract to 1/2 teaspoon because I wanted to bring out more of the almond flavor. It was fabulous!
