Cherry Crisp

We had a luncheon at work last week to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I made 3 homemade desserts that I will blog about today. I made a cherry crisp, cupcakes with royal icing flowers, and my Wilton course III final cake.

Even though it wasn't the prettiest dessert, the cherry crisp was a big hit. It is really easy to make and doesn't require a bunch of different ingredients. I usually keep all of the ingredients on hand except for the canned cherry pie filling. You could substitute apple pie filling too. This is a perfect thing to make when you have unexpected company or if you remember at the last minute that you have to bring a dish to a potluck.
