With all of the great cherries in the stores right now, I thought it was time for some cherry crisp.
I love fruity desserts like crisps and cobblers because they're so homey and comforting.
They are also great because you can use whatever yummy fruit is in season at the time.
I like to make my crisps in ramekins so that everyone can have their own dessert.
The pre-portioned servings just make it really easy to serve, and the pre-portioned servings make it easy to enjoy dessert without overindulging.

Can you make one big crisp? How would cooking change?
Kate says
Absolutely! When I make a larger crisp, it usually takes around 40-50 minutes to bake.

That’s just how my husband likes his crisps (and most of his other desserts, too) – with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream on top. =)

Anything with the name “Crisp” in it has me drooling for a big bowl! Cherries are one of my faves with it too! :)

I’m loving all the fresh cherries right now, and this is a perfect way to put them to use…if and when I can stop eating them right out of the bowl!
