Cherry Crisp

If you like cherries like I do, you will love this dessert. Served with vanilla ice cream it is a bit hit!


Cherry Crisp

1/2 C. Sugar
1/4 C. + 3 Tbsp. Flour
6 C. Pitted Frozen Cherries, thawed
1 C. Quick-cooking Oatmeal
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
1/4 C. Butter, softened
1/2 C. Sliced Almonds
(I double the topping because I love a lot on my Cherry Crisp)

1.  Combine sugar, 3 Tbsp. of flour and cherries.  
2.  Put this mixture in a greased 13 x 9 pan.  Mix the oats, brown sugar and flour.  
3.  Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or pulse very lightly in a Cuisinart until crumbly.  
4.  Stir in almonds and sprinkle evenly over the cherry mixture.  
5. Bake in a 350° oven until hot and bubble for about 40 minutes.  
6. I double the above topping recipe and use 3 bags of  frozen cherries from a grocery store.  

If you are using frozen cherries from Costco, I use the whole bag. 

7.  Due to the fact that I double the topping, I bake my Cherry Crisp for an hour.
