ingredients
-
Crust
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
-
Filling
- 4 cups tart cherries, with pits and stems removed
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
-
Topping
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 cup butter, softened
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients with a fork until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard pie plate, using the back of a spoon or fingers.
- Combine filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl; set aside until juice begins to form (Note: If the cherries are especially juicy, add more cornstarch for thickening. Otherwise, the pie filling will not set up well). Pour cherry mixture into crust.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients until butter is thoroughly incorporated. With fingers, crumble atop cherry filling.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes or until topping is crispy and brown, and filling is bubbly.
- To allow the pie filling to set up well, cool for at least two hours on a wire rack.
- Cut into eight slices to serve. If desired, garnish each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This was very good, but I think if I make it again I would add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to enhance the flavor, and a few drops of red food coloring to brighten the color of the filling. We usied fresh picked tart cherries. I also had problems with the filling leaking under the crust, so be sure you build the sides up high enough to avoid this problem.

Divine! We had fresh picked cherries and needed a recipe. Boy, did we pick the right one :) The only mistake we made was not pushing the crust up high enough on the sides, as the filling stuck to the pie pan, but we'll know for next time. My 7yo daughter gave it 2 thumbs up. The 3 adults that were sampling it couldn't wait 2 hours to try it. The pie set up nicely after 60 minutes cooling time. We also ate it for breakfast the next morning. Thanks for posting - this one's a keeper!

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
