I'm not a big fan of almonds, so I substituted walnuts in the crumble topping. It was still really good!

I followed the recipe exactly but my crisp turned out too dry. Not sure what went wrong.

The crumble topping was a bit too thick for my taste, but the cherry filling was delicious.

Not a fan of cherries but this crisp converted me! The almond flavor really shines through and balances out the tartness of the cherries. The crumble topping is also amazing - so buttery and flavorful.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! The crumble topping was perfectly crispy and the cherries were bursting with flavor. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and it was heavenly.
