Warm Black Cherry Crisp
Warm Black Cherry Crisp
Warm Black Cherry Crisp is a delicious dessert made with sweet, juicy black cherries topped with a crumbly, buttery oat and brown sugar topping. It's baked until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crispy. It's often served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 4½ cups black cherries frozen, thawed and chopped
- ¼ cup honey preferably local
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground allspice
- ¼ tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves fresh
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 1/3 cup honey preferably local
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/8 tablespoon salt table
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted or olive oil
Optional to Serve:
- Greek yogurt homemade whipped cream, or sugar-free ice cream.
- sprig thyme fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Combine thawed chopped cherries, honey, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and thyme leaves in a bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Combine the topping ingredients in a separate bowl and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Lightly grease the four 9-oz. oval cast iron baking dishes (or the 10” cast iron skillet) with coconut oil.
- Divide the cherry mixture equally among the cast iron mini-servers and spread into an even layer. Divide the topping between the 4 mini-servers, as well, and spread into a thin layer on top.
- Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and the cherry mixture is nice and bubbly.
- Tip: If using a 10” skillet, cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving plain or topped with some Greek yogurt, whipped cream, and/or sugar-free ice cream. Garnish with a couple sprigs of fresh thyme, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
Frozen cherries are much easier to use than fresh for this recipe. Place frozen cherries in a small strainer set over a large bowl to collect the liquid while thawing. Reserve the liquid to use in smoothies, cocktails, or non-alcoholic beverages. For example, you can combine some of the cherry juice with club soda and some crushed mint for a refreshing spritzer.
