This homemade Cherry Crisp recipe features a luscious cherry filling topped with a buttery oat crumble. Perfectly baked until golden and bubbly, it satisfies any fruit dessert craving with a comforting texture and sweet-tart flavor. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an irresistible treat.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, see note 1)

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or 2-quart baking pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix Crumble: In a large bowl, combine the flour, old-fashioned oats, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If the mixture becomes warm, chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Assemble: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out smoothly. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherries without pressing it down, ensuring a light, crumbly texture after baking.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled dish in the center of the lined sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Bake until the topping turns golden brown and the cherry filling bubbles slightly around the edges. If the topping begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Remove the cherry crisp from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • For fresh cherries, pit and toss them with a little sugar and lemon juice before using to replicate pie filling consistency.
  • Chilling the crumble mixture helps maintain a crisp topping texture.
  • Use parchment or silicone mats to catch any bubbling filling and prevent spills in your oven.
  • This crisp can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
