Cherry Crisp From Cooking Light

---

Wonderful dessert packed with fresh sweet cherries. Just the right amount of sweetness with a yummy crunchy topping. I took this out of the oven and went into another room. When i came back, my picky 8 year-old had eaten more than half! All i had was salted butter, so i omitted the salt in the filling and topping.
