Cherry Crisp - from Scratch! image

There are many crisp recipes on the site, but I didn't find one quite like this one. There are no cans of cherry pie filling here. Yes, you too can make a cherry crisp from scratch, using real cherries! You could use this filling for many other things like ice cream topping, or Toast-tites on the campfire! Yummy!

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups sweet cherries, pitted
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup granola cereal
1/3 cup butter, cold
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, gently toss first 5 ingredients together. Place in a greased casserole dish or 8 inch square pan.
  • In another bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients, using a pastry blender or fork. The mixture should resemble course crumbs. Spread mixture over pie filling. Bake for 30 minutes or until brown.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. You can substitute canned cherry pie for the homemade cherry filling if you want to, but why?
