“An easy, very fast fruit crisp I quickly threw together one day and it became a “keeper” recipe!  You taste the apples with a bit of extra sweetness from the cherry pie filling.  It is not overly sweet like many other crisps.  Double the recipe for a larger one that will use a whole can of cherry pie filling.

Serve warm or cold.  Extra special indulgence: serve with whipped cream or ice cream.   Enjoy!”
