Old-fashioned goodness with everyday ingredients.
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 over mix; 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-degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Makes 12 servings.
