Homemade Cherry Crisp
This Cherry Crisp, or some might call it a crumble, is super easy to make and so delicious. Serve it up warm with some vanilla ice cream and you'll be everyone's favorite person!
Ingredients
- 4 cups tart pie cherries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1½ cup flour
- 1½ cup oatmeal
- 1½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tsp almond extract
- non-stick spray or coconut oil
Instructions
- Place 4 cups tart pie cherries fresh or frozen (can be frozen or thawed) in a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup sugar and 3 tsp almond extract and stir gently until the sugar is mixed in well.
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray and then dump the berries into the baking dish. Spread the cherries out to cover the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- In another mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup softened butter, 1½ cup flour, 1½ cup oatmeal, 1½ cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix the crumbled topping together. You'll want the pieces of butter to be pea-sized if possible.
- Dump the crumbled topping on top of the cherries in the baking dish and cover the cherries with the crumbled ingredients evenly. It's okay if some of the cherries are sticking out or if it doesn't go all the way to the edge of the pan.
- Bake at 350° for approximately 30 minutes. The juice from the cherries will bubble up around the edges.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes and then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
If you want to use blueberries, raspberries, marion berries or peaches, omit the almond extract and use 2 tsp of cinnamon instead.
For apples, use green tart apples and follow the recipe as is.
Make sure you serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
If you like the crumble topping, you can always double that part of the recipe!
