As Easy As Pie

Well, technically this is called Cherry Crunch...but you know what I mean! I never have very good luck with fruit desserts, especially cobblers, crisps, or crumbles. I don't know why, but they always end up either way too chewy or way too dry. I have been staring at a can of cherry pie filling in my pantry for almost a month wishing that I had the perfect recipe to use it in. I finally sat down to do a little research on my favorite recipe website allrecipes.com!

I found THIS recipe!

This is one of the best fruit desserts I have ever made!

It was not too dry and not too chewy.

Just the right amount of sweet and tart.

And the Crunch part stayed yummy for 4 days!

Here is the recipe just in case you want to try it!
