He was writing his cookbook, Marbled, Swirled and Layered and graciously asked me to go over his recipe for Lemon-Blackberry Chess Pie. I first read about adding alcohol to dough after being asked to test a pie recipe for Irvin over at Eat the Love. I add a little more texture by tossing in some oats.
It’s a crumbly topping made of flour, butter, and sugar that is baked on top of pies, cakes, muffins and breads. They’re both the same to me, but I get an instant dessert image from crumb topping and danish image calling something with streusel. We’re talking dessert comfort food right here! Crumb Topping or Streusel? I make this cherry pie from scratch with a homemade pie crust (yes, you could buy a frozen one if it’s not your thing), fresh or frozen pitted cherries depending on what’s available, a kiss of balsamic vinegar for a slight orange flavor and acid to counter the sweetness, and a buttery crumb topping. I thought about calling this favorite pie of mine just Cheery Pie, but it didn’t use a top layer of dough and then Cherry Crumb Pie came to mind, but settled on Cherry Pie with Crumb Topping because that perfectly describes exactly what it is. Summer time means lots of fresh fruit desserts and this is one of my favorites. It’s perfect for any family dinner, BBQ or holiday get together!
Tender, flaky crust loaded with juicy cherries in a thick sauce and buttery crumbles of sugary dough on top baked to a golden brown. This All-American Cherry Pie with Crumb Topping is the perfect dessert, nostalgic to me, in that it reminds me of a dessert choice you’d order at a diner.
