About

Cherry Crisp brings you that warm and crunchy flavor you love about your fall desserts but with the bright and sweet taste of summer thanks to a beautiful pop of cherries! We love this recipe because it's just so easy to make and the flavors it brings are unmatched. Like the oats and almonds coated in cinnamon brown sugar and the plump cherries swimming in a slightly citrusy, sugary sea... it's definitely a yum, yum, yum combination. Our favorite way to enjoy Cherry Crisp? Oh, there's only one way... steaming hot and topped with a creamy scoop of our favorite vanilla ice cream!
