Cherry Crisp

This Cherry Crisp is sweet, juicy and the perfect blend of textures. The crumb topping provides a crisp and buttery flavor to pair with the cherry base. It tastes delightful while its warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top.

A serving of Cherry Crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top on a white plate.

Cherries are everywhere right now. My kids LOVE them! I knew we had to come up with a yummy way to use them.

This recipe was a blast to make with my daughter. My daughter helped me pit the cherries and put it together and I knew how much more enjoyable would be to eat once finished because of the fun memories behind it.

This crisp was FANTASTIC! The crumb topping adds a perfect crunch while the cherry base provides a silky smoothness. If you are looking for that perfect summertime treat, pair a warm plate of this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is heavenly!

Cherry Crisp served in a cast iron skillet with a scoop removed.
