A Delicious Cherry Crumble Recipe

A Delicious Cherry Crumble Recipe

I prepared this cherry crumble today, as I decided to cook and bake something extra as my sister and my father are coming to visit me for my birthday in August. I prepared, cut and tried it before shooting the photos. If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t even mind taking the photos 😉 But…I loved it!

I had already prepared a yummy strawberry crumble and my daughter wasn’t convinced the cherry crumble would be better. Well, she continues to prefer strawberries to cherries, but after trying the first piece, while I set the camera in veranda, she yelled from the kitchen: “Mom, it’s addictive!”

I won’t have much time to try recipes while having my sister and father visiting me, so I decided to “cook in advance”. I’ve been doing it lately. Sometimes I want to try a recipe, but we can’t eat everything immediately, so I freeze it. It became a practical thing and it’s very comfortable to have something ready to use, or a dessert to take to a friend’s house that just needs a few hours (maybe only a couple) before being ready to be served.

I found this cherry crumble recipe in Foods For The Soul blog. Amy, the lovely blogger, comments that each piece of this crumble has just 97 calories! The problem is…it’s quite impossible to eat only one piece 😉 (as I used a little bit of brown sugar and cornstarch, my version has 100 calories instead of 97).

I changed the recipe a little bit, personalizing it to my taste, but nothing that would change the core idea.

This recipe seems to be long because it’s divided in three parts – but, trust me, it’s soooo easy. For example, the filling is made just mixing cherries with sugar,  and almond aroma.

What impressed me more was the richness of the cherries. So many, a rich layer that delights your taste when you bite it.
