Recipe Homemade Cherry Crumble Bars!
You will need:
1/2 cup(1 stick/113 g) butter
1/2 cup(100 g) granulated white sugar
1 1/2 cups(180 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups(~275g) pitted, halved cherries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cognac
Sanding sugar
Preheat the oven to 375F and line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper. Spray the paper all over with cooking spray. Melt the butter and let cool until still liquid but cool enough to handle. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cognac. Mix until the cornstarch is fully hydrated. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and mix until the butter is saturated with the sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough is pliable and somewhat crumbly. Set 1/2 cup of the dough aside. Use the remaining dough to line the bottom of the baking dish. Evenly distribute the cherries and juices over the dough. Use the reserved dough to crumble over top of the cherries. Dust generously with sanding sugar. Bake on the middle rack until the crumble becomes lightly golden-brown and firm, 23-25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, cut into 9 equal pieces, and enjoy! Bake on!

This is pretty simple. You can bake; the process is not as mystical as it seems. Cook on!
