For the Bourbon Whipped Cream

Instructions
For the Filling
- Using a medium saucepan, add cherries, water, sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice; stir until well combined. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and {optional} almond extract.
- Spray a 9”x13” casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Transfer filling mixture into the greased baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
For the Topping
- Using a large mixing bowl, add sugars, rolled oats, chopped almonds, cinnamon, cardamom and salt; stir until well combined.
- Add the melted butter; stir until well combined.
- Add the flour; stir until well combined.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly on top of the cherry filling.
- Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes, or until topping is light golden brown. (Tip: Check after 30 minutes. If the top appears to be browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.)
For the Bourbon Whipped Cream
- While the crisp is cooling, make the whipped cream by combining the cream, powdered sugar and bourbon in a small bowl.
- Use an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Serve crisp with a dollop of whipped cream.
