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.

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! 🙂
Isn’t it great that we each have that freedom to make the choice that is best for us? I have also found a few generics that don’t measure up, but for the most part I have found them to be ok.
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
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.
Oh my goodness, I am addicted to those Copper Pennies!! I am so glad to hear that you liked them as well!!
That looks wonderful! Love the pie plate!
Yum, Christy! Your mama’s recipe sounds amazing. I love cherries…I will have to make this!
Let us know if you like it. Mama
My husband will love this!
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.
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!
You are right it is temptations from QVC. My mother in law has bought me several pieces and I love them all. Mama
Yum-Yum & Yum….looks wonderful!
