Cherry Crisp (From Cooking Light) image

Wonderful dessert packed with fresh sweet cherries. Just the right amount of sweetness with a yummy crunchy topping. I took this out of the oven and went into another room. When I came back, my picky 8 year-old had eaten more than half! All I had was salted butter, so I omitted the salt in the filling and topping.
