Hey ya’ll! You will love this cherry crisp recipe.  It is so easy.  If you want to take it over the top, serve it with a dollop of whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Plain or topped, it is sure to please. If you don’t love cherries though check out some of my other Crisp recipes like Peach CrispEasy and Delicious Apple Crisp RecipeOld-Fashioned Rhubarb Crisp, and Recipe for Pear Crisp.

Now, most of you know that we at Southern Plate are not usually opposed to buying store brands or mixes. Any way that we can help you save a dollar is okay with us. But cherry pie filling is an exception to that rule.  Having tried several store brands and finding that they didn’t have many cherries in them, we stick with this recipe instead. So unless you have a trusted brand that you have used before, I’d spend the extra to get a national brand.

  • Put small dabs (that’s a word we use a lot here) all over the top of the pie filling  I tried to use a spoon and then a fork but found my fingers did a better job of pinching off little dabs and putting it on the pie filling.

    1. I’ve made this in years past and yes, it is tasty! One can use other pie fillings too. I know you mentioned store brands and saving money…I do understand that. However, some store brands are just not the quality of the well known. I’d rather spend a bit more and be sure that I’m going to end up with a wonderful dish/meal. Just me! 🙂

      1. I made little cherry cheesecakes and only had a generic can of pie filling. I usually put a dollop of the filling and a cherry on each one. I was amazed that there were only about 10 cherries in the whole can. Sometimes we have to spend the extra. Haha. Mama

    2. Christy, this sounds and looks so Yumm my!! Will try it for my next dessert. By the way, made the Copper Pennies last week–another touchdown for you. Thanks.

    3. That looks so pretty that I would have to say it is cheerful. A scoop of vanilla ice cream might be in order. I am in love with that cherry pie plate.

      1. I believe the pie plate came from QVC or from the Temp-tations.com website directly. They are great to bake and cook with and the line has expanded a lot in the last two years. Check them out, I use them for everything I cook!
