Sweet Cherry Crisp
"Although it has been tweaked a little, the original of this recipe was seen recently on Paula Deen's show, Paula's Best Dishes, & we found this very enjoyable. Prep time does not include the 15 minutes needed for the finished crisp to cool before serving."

Very good! I make a lot of similar fruit desserts (crisps, cobblers), and this was not only good, it exceeded my expectations. Sweet fruit base, and a buttery tasting crisp topping without tons of butter. Only change I made was to use 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Also didn't bother to thaw my frozen sweet cherries, just cooked about 5 minutes longer. Reading the other review, I would not suggest cornstarch. Whisk together the flour and sugar, then toss with the cherries for perfect results. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
This was really tasty, however, I think cornstarch in place of the flour for thickening the cherries would be a better choice. I did like the fact that there are so many good things about this crisp: the almonds, cherries and oatmeal made me feel like a good girl! ;-) Thanks so much for sharing, Syd!
