Cherry Crumble ~ Quick, Easy and Delicious Cherry Dessert! Tons of Crunchy Crumb Topping and a Delicious Crumb Crust with Cherry Pie Filling!

Cherry Crumble
This is originally my recipe except my mom stole it, well she borrowed it, well maybe I just shared it with her. I happened upon this recipe while in college. I’m not sure in what cooking class I made it in but it became a fast favorite of mine. At least I got one thing out of my $40,000+ education that I’m not really using except in my blog!
That’s right I have a Bachelor’s in Hotel/Restaurant Management and I’m a successful Service Coordinator for a telecommunications company. Funny how that happens isn’t it? Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but my education is rather useless at this moment in time. I did use it for about 4 years after college, but after that I moved to a smaller town and there’s not much calling for it. I did learn lots of fun cooking tips and things like that which I use in everyday life. And you lucky people get to read about!

Cherry Crumble Recipe
This is a super easy recipe and totally yummy, but unfortunately the hubby is not a fan of cherries so I don’t have the opportunity to enjoy it very often. Remember how I told you he was going to be gone for a while during the week for work?
Well, I may have used this to my advantage. No no no I’m not telling you I made it and invited my parents over, although that would have been a fantastic thing for a wonderful daughter like me to do. Actually my mom invited me over and told me I could pick whatever I wanted.
This was definitely one of my top priorities. Along with several other dishes I will be sharing with you. My hubby frequently tells me I am spoiled by my parents. Now that I share this information with you I’m sure you might agree with him. Well the truth is I might be spoiled but I prefer to say I’m just loved!

Ingredients for Cherry Crumble

How to Make Cherry Crumble
With only a few steps this Cherry Crumble recipe is super easy to make!
You’ll first mix the first four ingredients together.

Spread cherries over the top of the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining half of the crumble mixture over the top.

This dessert is the best when it is served while still warm and fresh out of the oven. Well let it cool a little bit or that ice cream that you top it with will melt! Enjoy!

Clay says
Simple and delicious! Made an apple one, also. I agree that a little more crumble, while not necessary, makes it even better.
Lisa says
I have a graham cracker pie crust. So I am not the best baker, but I would assume I just cut down the amount of the first 4 ingredients in half?
Em says
So easy and so good. I’ll make it again and again… maybe a blue berry one too.
Mike Gardner says

I had a can of cherries and wanted a dessert for after dinner. I came across this, it’s easy and good. My husband loved it.
Julie Evink says
It’s one of my favorite easy desserts too! So glad you enjoyed it.

Georgina Doers says
Hi! I haven’t tried this yet, but it’s on my Thanksgiving menu this year. 😉 Quick question, though. You used a pie pan. Would the recipe work for a square 9×9 pan? Thank You!
Julie says
Yes, I think that would work fine. Enjoy!
Georgina says
Thank You! Can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Sandy says
It is super good and very easy to make. Not only did I make cheery I also made apple. I’m actually making my second apple crisp today, the first one went fast!
Julie says
Perfect! I’m glad you love it, apple sounds amazing!
Brittany c says
This was sooo good!! Omgoodness I even made a blueberry and peach one together! 🙂 How many calories would be for the apple filling as well as blueberry filling and peach filling Is it 521 for one piece or for all together? How many pieces can you get out of that pie? I’m helping my friend loose weight that’s all 🙂 and track her foods and sugars 🙂 thanks so
Much!! This was such a good find and I’ll defenitly make this again! 😀
Julie says
Calories would depend on the brand of the pie filling used so I’m not able to approximate the calorie count for those. The serving size is for one piece, 1/8 of the pie. Glad you enjoyed it!
Molly says
Loved this recipe! I added some cinnamon and a little vanilla for the topping.
Julie says
Sounds delicious! Glad you loved it!
Farrah says
Super easy, with only five ingredients. Loved the crunchy topping!

Laura says
Needed a little quarantine pick me up and the recipe was the perfect choice! Easy and delicious. Thanks!
Julie says
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Dale Larrimore says
Yum!
Easy to make with stuff in the pantry. A great treat while I’m sheltering at home.
This will taste good all week. Thanks.
P.S. I also had a very small bag of chopped walnuts, so I crushed them a little more and added them to the topping. Just a little more crunch!
Julie says
Wonderful! I’m so glad you loved it!
Adrian Stanton says
Well I’m just a guy fancying something sweet, looked in the cupboard saw cherries, it went downhill after that, my crumble mix was just one great big BLOB after mixing – per instructions. So I just mixed everything in a bowl and baked it. I think the recipe needs fine tuning for us guys.
Julie says
Hi Adrian – I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! Was your butter softened? If it was still cold when you mixed it, that might have been the problem.
P. says
I think you used “cherries in juice” not cherry pie filling.
