Cherry Crisp is full of fresh Rainier and Sweet Red Cherries, topped with a coconut almond crisp. This gluten free recipe is great when you don’t have time to make a pie crust, but want a similar dessert!

Now I’m a sucker for a good homemade cherry pie, but I don’t always have time to bake one from scratch. Hence the super easy and yummy Cherry Crisp recipe. Simple ingredients that just need a quick stir before you add them to your baking dish.

What are Rainier Cherries?

A yellow cherry with a bright red blush accent. Rainier has a delicately sweet flavored yellow flesh.

How to pick the right cherries for your Cherry Crisp:

  • Sweet cherries are very delicate and should be handled carefully to avoid bruising.
  • Avoid shriveled or soft cherries.
  • Taste a couple to see if they are sweet or bitter.
  • Don’t place them in the sun or super warm location or they will quickly shrivel.
  • Refrigerate  immediately after purchase to stay fresh for several days.

Can I freeze Cherries?

Cherries that have the stem removed and pitted can be frozen for later use. In a large bowl add ⅓ cup of sugar for each pint of cherries. Toss or gently stir for an even coating. Place in air tight container or freezer bags, removing excess air. Place in freezer!
