Crumb-Topped Cherry Pie
“This pie was my dad’s favorite and one my mom made frequently for Sunday dinner,” recalls Sandy Jenkins from Elkhorn, Wisconsin. “We had a farm, so mom made her own butter and ice cream, and she used our fresh dairy products for this pie’s great topping.”

I most certainly would make this pie again! It is plenty sweet, so I may experiment on cutting back the sugar a bit in the cherry mixture, but so far I've just stuck with the recipe amount. The only change I did make that I thought others might be interested in know is that I used 3-3/4 to 4 cups fresh tart cherries instead of canned cherries. Turned out magnificent! Definitely my "go-to" cherry pie recipe from now on!
Excellent recipe....great reviews from my family. I will certainly save this recipe to make when we have company. I spread out the crust and cut a little heart out with a cookie cutter and bake on the top just like Grand Traverse...so cute! I did not make the whipped cream along with it, so I can not rate that.
My boyfriend's mom made this for thanksgiving a few years ago and I could have eaten the whole pie. She accidentally put some almond extract in the topping too, and I keep putting a few drops in when I make it too. I have made this a couple times for holidays and it is my "go to" recipe for cherry pie ( I have never been much of a double crust person). The crust is so easy and good I may try it for other recipes as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

What a wonderful pie! The filling was just a tad too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll use less sugar. I also used 1/2 c. sliced almonds for the topping--marvelous! This is my new "standard" cherry pie recipe.
