Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 to 6 cups cherries fresh or frozen and pitted
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg unbeaten
  • ⅓ cup melted butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the cherries with 1/4 cup of the sugar until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the cherries into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and unbeaten egg until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the cherries.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the topping.
  7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the crisp rest for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  1. Fresh or frozen cherries both work well for this recipe.
  2. If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain them first to avoid excess liquid.
  3. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  4. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  5. Reheat leftovers in a 325 degree oven for about 10 minutes to help keep the topping crisp.
