QUICK & EASY CHERRY CRISP

 

Saturday was the last Firehouse Market in Platte City for 2025. They move some of the pumper trucks out so the people can set up their products they have for sale. When it is cold, the water might free and they don't want that to happen if they get a call with a fire. Anyway we have missed the last couple of months and since it will be Christmas soon, the room was full with merchandise. I decided I was going to be generous this time to support the local merchants.

It was really fun and I did buy a number of things. Afterwards we stopped by Roxanne's for lunch which is always nice. We always enjoy seeing the desserts in the case as you come in the door. Our waitress asked us if we wanted any dessert after we finished our meal, but we told her no. As we got in the car I told Wayne I would make him something when we got home and asked him what did he want. He didn't think too long before he said Cherry Crisp. I said "fine".

This recipe is super easy and some might wonder why I would share it since it isn't anything special. Well, I decided to share it for two reasons: 1) the next time I want to make it, I can find the recipe here and 2) Easy as it is, I had to search for a recipe for the crisp part online myself.

It is really an easy crisp recipe that is one of those versitle ones that allows you to use any fruit pie filling you like. I made ours sugar free but of course you don't have to. My pie filling was no-sugar-added and I used truvia brown sugar.

I ate mine plain while still warm and Wayne added strawberry ice cream. It was the only flavor we had. He said it was good.

QUICK & EASY CHERRY CRISP

1     (21 - ounce) can cherry pie filling (or your favorite)

2/3 cup brown sugar (1/2 cup would work)

1/2  cup flour

1/2  cup rolled oats

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/3  cup melted butter

1/4  cup chopped pecans (I used about 1/2 cup)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 2 - quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour the pie filling into the dish and spread evenly. You could use any fruit pie filling. I used a No Sugar Added Cherry pie filling.

Stir together the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium sized bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir if necessary to finish melting.

Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until all dry ingredients are moist.

Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the pie filling.

Chop the pecans and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly before eating.

Enjoy with or

without ice cream.
