Cherry Crisp

It was perfect for me being stuck in the house for several days during a snowstorm. I was trying to find a recipe to make with ingredients I had in the house and I had everything! I followed the recipe with ingredient ratios listed. I did cut back on the nutmeg after reading reviews. I put only 1/4 teaspoon and I upped the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon. I also added a little lemon extract to the cherries about 1/4 tsp. The flavor was yummy! I only put chopped pecans on 1/2 mainly because my 1 year old granddaughter can’t chew nuts and hasn’t had any nuts yet due to risk of allergic reaction. I’m saving this recipe and will recommend it! Thank you for sharing it!

I too thought this was a bit too sweet. The nutmeg was also too much even though I only put in half of the amount called for. I would like to try this with different fruits since I found the topping to be delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

We liked this but found it pretty sweet. I’d reduce sugar next time for our tastes. I did use melted butter, even though many reviewers didn’t want to. I found no issue with texture and my topping was crunchy and firm. This dessert comes together so quickly. I think it took me about 7 minutes. Literally. I definitely recommend vanilla ice cream with it. It cuts the richness and sweetness of it and it delicious with it.

Overall this turned out well and tasted good. I like that it made a good amount of topping! I would reduce the sugar by a couple tablespoons next time. I didn’t melt the butter; I've done that before with crisps and didn't like the consistency. Also, I only sprinkled in some nutmeg as the whole amount would have been too much for us. Nice, easy dessert.

I read the reviews and made a few changes that sounded good and made sense to me. I added a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon rind and 1/2 tsp. of almond extract to the cherries, skipped the nutmeg and used 1 tsp. of cinnamon instead. Did not melt the butter, cut in cubes, and combined with all the topping ingredients in my food processor and processed until crumbly. Used a 8-1/2" square baking dish and topped with 1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans. The lemon zest was a good addition. We loved it! Don't really need ice or whipped cream. Great either way. There is not a lot of filling, so choose your pan accordingly. You'd probably get a crisper topping with a larger pan.

Made the recipe exactly as stated......Delicious with whipped topping. Fast.Easy and portion size perfect. A keeper for the recipe box, thank you for sharing.

Really good. Followed exactly the recipes. Will make again

this is a simple, quick, easy and delicious recipe. We served it with some fresh, homemade whipped cream and loved it.

I was a wee bit more heavy-handed with the spices than the recipe suggested but I'm always like that with things that require cinnamon, allspice, etc.
