Indulge in a delightful journey of flavors with our exquisite crumb-topped cherry pie, a timeless classic dessert that embodies the essence of comfort and indulgence. This delectable treat features a flaky, buttery crust that encases a vibrant filling of sweet and tangy cherries, perfectly complemented by a crunchy, crumbly topping. With three variations to choose from, including a traditional all-butter crust, a gluten-free oat crust, and a vegan crust, this recipe caters to diverse dietary preferences. Whether you prefer the classic taste of butter or seek a healthier alternative, you'll find the perfect crust to suit your palate.
**Traditional All-Butter Crust:**
This classic crust is made with a combination of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and unsalted butter. The butter is cut into small pieces and then worked into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Ice water is added to bind the dough together, which is then chilled before being rolled out and used to line a pie plate.
**Gluten-Free Oat Crust:**
For those with gluten sensitivities or those seeking a healthier option, this gluten-free oat crust is a delightful alternative. Made with a combination of gluten-free flour, oats, sugar, salt, and coconut oil, this crust offers a nutty flavor and a satisfyingly crunchy texture.
**Vegan Crust:**
This vegan crust is perfect for those following a plant-based diet. Made with a combination of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and vegan butter, this crust delivers a flaky, buttery texture without any animal products.
CHERRY PIE WITH CRUMB TOPPING RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F. If your cherries are frozen, be sure to completely thaw and drain off most of the liquid. A little left behind is ok, but you want barely any.
- Add the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, gently stirring, until the cornstarch and sugar dissolves, and the mixture is thick. Do not over-stir, or it will break up the cherries. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and set aside.
- Roll out your pie crust until it is about 1-inch wider than your pie plate .
- Place the pie crust into the pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Gather your ingredients.
- Melt the butter.
- Stir the brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the melted butter. Keep stirring until soft crumbs form.
- Pour the cherry pie filling into the prepared crust.
- Top with the crumb mixture, breaking up into pea sized balls as you sprinkle over the top.
- Bake until the crumb topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. Check on the pie while it cooks and if the top becomes too brown, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time.
- Let cool for 15 minutes to allow the juices to gel together. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

(Sprinkle flour over the top of the dough if it's a bit too moist.) Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough against the sides of the pan. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself, then crimp the edges with your fingers.

Put the pie on the baking sheet and bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is browned, about 50 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it's getting dark too quickly.)
