Chocolate-Cherry Crisp


This is oh, so easy but oh, so yummy!  Give it a try
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup firm butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1. Heat oven to 350ºF. In ungreased 8-inch square pan, spread pie filling.

2. In medium bowl, mix Bisquick mix, brown sugar and oats. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon evenly over pie filling.

3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until very bubbly around edges. Serve warm.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Use 3/4 cup Bisquick mix. Bake 35 to 40 minutes.

Variation:  Strawberry and raspberry pie fillings are great stand-ins for the cherry pie filling.

Take this easy crisp to your next potluck. Double the recipe and bake in a 13x9-inch pan for a real crowd pleaser.

Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream is a natural topper for fruit crisps.
