Cherry Crisp Recipe

Cherry Crisp

A little sweet and a little sour

I love me the combination of sweet and sour cherries. It brings more balance to the bite than just the cloying sweetness that cherry can sometimes turn into. I also am a mad fan of that golden delicious topping. So you might look at this recipe and think, my golly gracious woman, will there be any room left for my filling? And you wouldn’t be wrong - but this is how I like it, and maybe you will too.
