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.

Cherry Crisp from scratch

Now, most of you know that we at Southern Plate are not usually apposed 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 found that they didn’t have many cherries in them, mostly filling 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.
