• 3 put butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy.
• 4 stir pistachio mixture into butter mixture until just combined. work mixture through your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs ranging in size from small peas to gum balls; set topping aside.
• 5 stir together cherries, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. transfer cherry mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. sprinkle the topping evenly over cherry mixture. bake until topping turns golden and juices are bubbling, 50-60 minutes. let cool on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
