Crazy Crust Cherry Pie

March 11, 2022 Amanda Plott

Some days are just meant to be lazy, and this is just one of those days. There’s another cold front blowing in right now as we roll into Spring break over here. How crazy is that?! Okay, well it’s crazy by Texas standards anyway. Even so, a cherry pie just sounded good to me and I didn’t want to fuss with a pie dough this time around. So here we are with this Crazy Crust Cherry Pie!

What’s a Crazy Crust Cherry Pie? It’s a one bowl cherry pie where the crust is more cake like and is whipped up in no time at all in one bowl before being poured into a pie dish ahead of cherry pie filling. I’d venture to say that this pie is somewhere in between a cobbler and a pie though since the crust itself isn’t really indicative of a pie dough….

Cherry Pie Cookies

These cherry pie cookies combine two favorites. Cherry pie and cookies! They’re super simple to make with less than 5 ingredients and are super adorable! They’re basically mini individual hand pies that look like pies and yet are shaped like cookies. They make for an impressive dessert, even though they’re so simple.

There isn’t a whole lot that can be done to make these better-for-you other than using a lighter pie filling. You could even make your own pie filling and use that, but today I was keeping it simple so I personally opted out of that option…

Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls

There’s nothing quite like waking to homemade cinnamon rolls. They’re truly one of my favorite breakfast items. Soft, fluffy, sweet, and once you get the hang of it - they’re fairly simple to make too! These Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls really take the cake, especially around Fall and Winter when cranberries are all the rage.

I based these sweet rolls off of my fave holiday pie, which happens to be a Cranberry Cherry Pie. The mix of cranberries and cherries is hard to beat. It’s sweet with the cherries and also has some tang to it with the natural tartness of cranberries being added…

Cherry Pop-Tart Bundt Cake

Another day, another dessert! This sweet treat is a nod to Cherry Pop-Tarts with it’s light pink frosting, red sugar sprinkles, and cherry filling. It’s truly one of the most delicious cherry cakes that I’ve ever put in my mouth. And that’s saying a lot!

While this cake is perfect as a dessert, it could also be enjoyed for breakfast. How do I know that? It’s what I had today for breakfast. Since it’s in the shape of a bundt… that makes it technically like a coffee cake, right? Sure. Let’s go with that…

Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler

November 24, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a slightly more out of the box dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas, look no further! This Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler is a mix of my favorite cobbler recipe and my 5 Ingredient Skinny Cranberry Cherry Pie.

Even for being made with cherries and fresh cranberries, this cobbler is surprisingly simple and easy to put together. While it may have a few more ingredients than the pie, you don’t have to fuss with the crust! Just as with most cobblers, this one is made with the batter on the bottom of the dish and a hot fruit filling spread over the top…

Whole Wheat Fresh Cherry Cobbler

August 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

It's the end of summer (break) and cherries are still in season over here. And since I haven't really done anything with them yet this season, I thought it was high time to do so! To create this lovely cobbler, I started with the base of the one that I made about a month ago. I have used the same recipe a few times now, trying out different fruits.

Up until today, the blackberry seemed to be the favorite.

The only real difference between this version of the cobbler recipe, and the one from before, is that this one I decided to use the cherries and also subbed in some whole wheat white flour instead of the all-purpose…
