Place sour cherries in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to combine.
Add the coconut sugar and arrowroot powder to the bowl and stir until well combined. Transfer the mixture into a pie dish, cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Add all the ingredients for the filling except the coconut oil in another bowl. Stir together until well combined.
Add the softened coconut oil to the bowl and work into the mixture with either the tines of a fork or your fingers until a fine crumble consistency results.
Spread the topping over the berries in the baking dish in an even layer.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until cherries are bubbly and crisp topping has turned golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
*Use at least 2 cups of sour cherries. The remaining 2 cups can be substituted with other red berries like the strawberries and red currants shown here if you don't have 4 cups of sour cherries.
