Coach's Oats Sour Cherry Crumble



The next two weeks around these parts are going to get a little feisty.
Think of it as a reciped version of West Side Story
Where the Jets arrive in flour-splotched aprons for a dance off against the pleasantly plump Sharks.
And, while I know there is not one amongst us who desire catfights, foodfights, or jello wrestling,
I most certainly feel the need to defend my home turf. Or, rather...my oventop.
So, the gauntlet (or, rather...the wooden spoon) has been thrown down and I plan to pick it up, mix it up, and claim victory.
But, I'm going to need your help.
Next week, I go back into the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter sing-off arena as the forlorn underdog.
I lost the last fight, lost it good, and hope you'll help me log a win in this final round.
{More details arriving soon...}
Several weeks ago, I was contacted by my favorite steel-cut oat company, Coach's Oats.
It seems the folks at POM had challenged them to a battle of grits, groats, and gumption.
Could Coach's Oats pummel POM in a head-to-head competition of recipe making?
Coach's asked me to help create a prizewinning recipe, and I most delightfully accepted.

After mixing up several batches of treats which incorporated both Coach's Oats and 100% POM juice, the folks at Coach's decided that the triple-layered Coach's Oat's Crumble was ready for the fight. With a buttery, bottom layer of steel-cut oats and crushed walnuts, a pomegranate-cherry center, and a heavy second coat of brown-sugared oats, I think we may just have ourselves a winner. But, we're going to need your vote.

OOohhhh, I voted! The peach looked soooo good, but my boys would go for the Cherry, yes, they would! I'm going to try your recipe out on them. They love POM and they love oats! It sounds like a match made in food heaven:) Best of luck!

I'm so excited and of course you get my vote! I just bought Coaches oats yesterday(thanks to your previous recommendation!) - so I guess now I'll have to try this recipe!

I had them for breakfast and they were delectable! Yummers!

Yeay! I love Coaches oats! I've voted for you. Can we vote more than once?

I'll try out both recipes, but you already know who will get my vote! ; )

I voted and marked the recipe for Family Night Treat this Monday. We don't have coach's Oats in Idaho. Are they steel cut or regular oats?
