1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. oatmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter

Blend together as for pie crust until crumbly. Pat half in an 8x8 inch pan.

For cherry filling, use 1 can cherry pie filling or make your own with a can of drained pie cherries. Thicken cherry juice from these with 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour mixed together and added to juice in small kettle. Cook until thick and pour over drained cherries that have been put on top of crust.

Cover with rest of crumb mixture and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Can also use 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, cooked for thickening cherry juice.
