    Make the cherry filling: In a medium stainless steel bowl, mix together the cherries, lemon juice, granulated and brown sugars, flour, cornstarch, and allspice. Transfer the filling mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

    Place the skillet on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the filling begins to simmer, then thickens, 15-20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, make the crisp topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Add the butter and toss to coat in the dry ingredients, then mash with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly.

    Carefully remove the skillet with the filling from the grill and place on a heat-safe surface. Scatter the crisp topping over the filling. Return the skillet to the grill, close the lid, and bake until the topping is golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Remove the crisp from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes.
