Growing up I hated cherries unless they were fresh. I hated cherry pie, I hated cherry crisp and anything else that involved cherries. Then I had a cherry pie made with fresh cherries, not that weird cherry pie filling. My life was changed. Cherry desserts are actually really awesome! Well, when they are made with fresh cherries.
I knew when they fine folks at Le Creuset and Williams-Sonoma asked me to show off their new color, Quince, I had to make something delicious and pretty. That’s when I went to my old friend, cherries. Doesn’t all that delicious crumb topping and those sweet cherries look gorgeous together with that color!

Frozen Cherry Crisp
This frozen cherry crisp is made from frozen cherries, sweet spices and topped with lots of crumbly topping. This simple dessert is a must make!
Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 36 ounces frozen cherries
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup quick cooking oats
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Sift together the white whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl add frozen cherries, sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the sifted flour. Add to a 3 1/2 quart Le Creuset braiser pan.
In a large bowl add remaining flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix together and add in cubed butter. Using a pastry blender blend in the butter until your topping is the texture of small clumped sand.
Top frozen cherries with oat crust and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Cherries are my favorite fruit!! I love them in all applications but especially in pies/crumbles/crisps/slumps/etc. This looks awesome to me!!
I could have probably eaten this whole thing by myself….haha. I’m such a sucker for a warm crisp.
Gorgeous! Good luck with the contest!
Thank you Carrie!
Oh I love cherry crisps! I too was the same way you were never a fan of cherries. It wasn’t until the last few years I’ve started embracing fresh/frozen cherries! Your picture is gorgeous (p.s. the pin links aren’t working for me)!
Gah! I don’t know why the links are working. Hope they are up and working now!
YES YES YES YES.
Hahaha thanks!
Such a nice way to get a little shot of summer in winter….the crisp looks delicious.
Oh, and I completely understand your perspective on cherries – I only recently started liking them myself, because my taste was so tainted by horrible “cherry flavored” items…I forgot how delicious the real thing is (are?).
Agreed! Whoever invented “cherry flavored” products have obviously never tasted a cherry…haha.
looks delicious can I have mine with custard
Thanks! Custard on top sounds great!
i love anything cherry! Cherry pie was always one of my favorites
I love cherry pie now that I know what it tastes like with real cherries. So tasty!
the difference between desserts made with fresh cherries and canned cherry pie filling is astronomical. 🙂
Agreed! That canned stuff is not even close to the real thing!
What a great crisp recipe, I’ve never tried it with cherries before.
It’s so tasty! I love it made with blueberries too!
Oh girl, this is extremely innovative! Hope you win!!
Thank you! I hope I win too 🙂 I would love to giveaway some Le Creuset!
