OK, I didn't have any apples for a pie. But after a weekend of sights, sounds and fun it was time for a sweet treat to share with friends.
Cherry Crisp. Flour, sugar, butter and a pinch of cardamon blended together until crumbly and sprinkled over tart cherries and baked until the top is crisp and the cherries sweet and hot. (recipe in the comments). It's good on its own and of course, topped with homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
Because after you've let some steam off with friends everyone is usually hungry.

Yummy.
Cherry Mixture
2 cups pitted, fresh cherries
2 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp water
1 tsp corn starch
(or yes, you can use one small can of cherry pie filling)
For topping
3/4 cup flour
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp white sugar
a pinch of cardamon
5 tbsp salted butter, melted Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cook the pitted cherries and sugar on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes, until cherries are softened, stirring frequently so that the sugar does not burn. Combine corn starch and water and add it to the cherries. Cook for about 1 minute longer or until the mixture thickens.
To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, sugars and cardammon together. If using unsalted butter add a dash of salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture looks like large, slightly wet crumbs.
Place cherries in a lightly greased small casserole or 8 x 8 inch pan and top with topping. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes until the top is beginning to brown and the edges are bubbly.
I love crisps of all kinds.
That looks good!
I'll have a serving of cherry crisp and a Farmall on the side...
I spent many an hour mowing in elementary school on a Farmall Cub with a Woods belly mower...

I'm thinking Fedex is in order!
I know, everyone else is salivating over the Cherry Crisps - but, man, I'd like to see more of those tractors!
The crisp looks good. The tractors are interesting too. Did you keep track of the models and years of production? I don't know the tractors that predate me very well.
I need to stop looking at your recipes. I'm obviously allergic.
I try them out and swell right up.
Q
The Donald - There's more pictures for later. I love machinery - old, new, tractors, steam engines, gas engines, old airplanes. I see women that obsess over fashion and small yappy dogs and I feel sort of like I'm from another planet. But I like it, wouldn't live anywhere else.
Quizikle - It's going to be on my tombstone - here lies Dr. B., she never did lose those last 20 pounds. :-) Life is too short to be a bag of antlers. A little good food never hurts.
More good stuff to feed the isle of belly. (Mine.) And whats better than machines and things to eat.
Looks so good. We are in Bardstown, KY, tonight. We had peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream - almost as good as cherry crisp with vanilla ice cream, huh!
I agree "Life is to short to be a bag of antlers" So I'm going to make this recipe :-)
Whip that up into some vanilla ice cream and create your patented "Cherry Crisp Ice Cream" by B! Nothing hot here for a few more weeks :)
Mmm.
Crisp looks delicious.
The tractors look like they have been gussied up for show.
Hmmmm, right after saying that I was having a hard enough time staying on my diet... You post this. Guess there are always exceptions, this is one of em! Must make!
I have a half a dozen peaches that are going to find themselves in a pie this week.
My shop teacher in high school had a collection of Minneapolis Moline tractors, he had a Comfortractor with full fenders and a 2 seat cab. Oddest thing you ever saw.
I was having good success at staying on the diet - but then there was a county fair, with antique tractors, an old popper engine hypnotically chugging away making cornmeal, demolition derby heats with old detroit steel and one with modified lawnmowers, and elephants ears with cherry pie filling topping, polish sausages, lemonade, cotton candy, blackberry cider...
Looks like you had a great weekend, too!
No Cinnamon?
Yum, and nice old tractors, but I didn't see any 8Ns...
The Cherry Crisp sounds great, but the tractors, oh the tractors! Spent countless hours working fields and orchards on an old IH Farmall A and a Cub (among others). Those pictures bring back the good parts of those memories.
Wow, a Farmall "A" Dad left one of those in the barn when he passed on. I remember the tractor rides with my Grandpa when I was a wee tyke.
Cool! A Farmall Super A, a Baker(?) traction engine and a Fordson. Life is good!
Any and all crisps rock! This looks sooooo good.
