Cherry Crisp Recipe
I “hacked” the Ginger Pear Crisp since it reminded me of the heart-healthy Cherry Crisp recipe I developed about 10 years ago. Mine is spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg (actually, I use Penzey’s Apple Pie blend) and is topped with a crunchy oat-pecan streusel—no ice cream needed!
- 2 cans cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar (or Splenda substitute)
- 1-1/2 cups rolled (not instant) oatmeal
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tsp Penzey's Apple Pie Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 2 qt casserole or baking dish with baking spray and set aside. Spread cherries into bottom of casserole. Combine remaining ingredients and stir with fork. Spread over fruit evenly.
- Combine topping ingredients: 4 tablespoons butter (melted), 3 heaping tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon Penzey’s Apple Pie Seasoning. Pour evenly over crisp.
- Bake about 45 minutes or until cherries bubble up through the crisp topping. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.
