I have a love for the simplicity and wholesomeness of a crisp, apple, cherry, peach… I love them all. What is better than a classic crisp is a double layer crisp. A layer of oatmeal goodness, a layer of fruit and then a another layer of oatmeal goodness. Simple and classic. You can eat it by itself or top it with some vanilla ice cream.
This double layer cherry crisp is also the perfect dessert for you to bring to a potluck specially when you find out at the last minute. It is as awesome as a pie but much easier to make since you don’t have to worry about the pie crust.
Seriously, does this look delicious or what?
So what are you waiting for? Hurry, go make yourself some!
