Cherry Crisp Pie image

I was in the mood for cherry pie but didn't want to make pie crust, so I improvised and made a cherry crisp in pie form. The recipe calls for fresh cherries, but you could substitute canned pie filling if they happen to be out-of-season. We liked this pie served a la mode and thought the sweetness of the crust and topping was a good balance with the tartness of the cherries.

Time 1h

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 cups tart cherries, with pits and stems removed
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients with a fork until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard pie plate, using the back of a spoon or fingers.
  • Combine filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl; set aside until juice begins to form (Note: If the cherries are especially juicy, add more cornstarch for thickening. Otherwise, the pie filling will not set up well). Pour cherry mixture into crust.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients until butter is thoroughly incorporated. With fingers, crumble atop cherry filling.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes or until topping is crispy and brown, and filling is bubbly.
  • To allow the pie filling to set up well, cool for at least two hours on a wire rack.
  • Cut into eight slices to serve. If desired, garnish each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
