Made from scratch, this homemade cherry crisp recipe is filled with juicy cherries and topped with a crisp, golden oat and almond crumble scented with cinnamon.

Easy Almond Cherry Crisp

Ingredients

This easy cherry crisp recipe couldn’t be simpler and is a great way to use fresh, frozen or canned cherries. The crisp topping is made with old fashioned rolled oats and flaked almonds.

  • Cherries. I used fresh, pitted cherries but you can absolutely make this with frozen or canned cherries too. If using frozen cherries, add another 2 tbsp of cornstarch to allow the filling to thicken as they will release a lot of liquid once baked.
  • Brown Sugar. 
  • Cornstarch. 
  • Butter. I used salted but you could use unsalted butter too.
  • Rolled oatmeal.
  • Flaked almonds. Pecans or pistachios will also be delicious.
  • Ground cinnamon. 
  • Salt. 

What is the difference between a crisp and a crumble?

A crisp is a baked fruit dessert with a streusel topping containing oats. A crumble is just a crisp without the addition of oats in the topping.

Cherry crisp filling

 

How to make cherry crisp

  1. Prepare the filling: Making your own filling (instead of using store-bought cherry pie filling) makes all the difference. Pit fresh cherries, if using, and place in a large bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch and a pinch of salt then mix well. Transfer the cherry filling to a pie dish, cast-iron skillet or suitable baking dish.
  2. Make the oat streusel topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flaked almonds, cinnamon, sugar, salt and melted butter until combined. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the cherries.
  3. Bake: Bake the crisp in a preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the cherries are soft and juicy, the juices have thickened and the streusel topping is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to chill for 5 minutes then serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

What other fruit can I use for a crisp?

Most fruits work well for a crisp. Berries and stone fruit in particular work very well. Blueberries, strawberries, mixed berries, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines and plums are all delicious in a crisp.

Can I make this ahead?

The crisp can be prepared completely and kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking and serving.
