- Yield: 1 deep-dish 9-inch pie
Ingredients
Crumble Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks, softened
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
Pie:
- 2 ½ cups frozen pitted cherries
- 1 (9 inch) deep-dish pie crust
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves, salt, and nutmeg for crumble topping in a food processor; process until thoroughly mixed, about 30 seconds. Add butter through the chute and process, scraping the sides as needed, until thoroughly mixed and mixture looks like wet sand.
Step 3
Transfer to a large bowl and stir in oats until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Arrange frozen cherries in the pie crust in an even layer. Spread pie filling over top, then sprinkle with crumble topping. Place pie on a sheet pan.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Cook's Notes:
I usually triple the topping recipe and make 3 pies' worth at a time. That way, with frozen fruit, a can of topping, and a pie shell on hand, I can throw a pie together and have it in the oven in less than five minutes. A triple recipe of crumble topping makes about 27 ounces, so just measure out 9 ounces and use that much for each pie.
You can use pretty much any frozen fruit and pie filling combination you like for this pie. I usually use frozen blueberries, because they're easy to find in the store, with cherry pie filling, but cherries with cherry filling is delicious, as is blueberries with peach filling.
