INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 12 tablespoons butter cut into cubes
- 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
INSTRUCTIONS
-
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
-
Add flour, sugar, and butter to a medium mixing bowl and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour and sugar until you have coarse crumbs. Alternately, add the flour, sugar, and butter to the bowl of a food processor and process just until you have coarse crumbs. Do not overmix.
-
Press half of the dough into the bottom of a 7×11 or 9×9 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
-
Remove crust from the oven and spread the cherry filling over the top. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the filling.
-
Return to the oven for 50-60 more minutes or until the crust is starting to turn golden at the edges.
-
Cool completely before cutting and serving.
TIPS & NOTES:
You may use any canned pie filling in this recipe. Strawberry, blueberry, etc. all work well.
