The First Real Pie Recipe On Bubba Pie?
When I decided to post this recipe for Cherry Crumble Pie, I started wondering how many Pie recipes we already had on this blog. I mean, it’s called, Bubba Pie, right? We should have a ton. Well, sort of and sort of not. We are long on no bake pie recipes like our Banana Cream Pie, our Kool Aid Pie and our Strawberry Jello Pie. We’ve even got this awesome recipe for Apple Pie Cake, which, seriously, you need to try!
But I was surprised to see that we hadn’t yet posted a recipe for a traditional, bake-in-the-oven pie! So, what better place to start than with one of the most classic pies there is, Cherry Pie. But we didn’t want to just post about a normal Cherry Pie, we thought we’d amp up the taste buds by adding a buttery streusel topping to make this a Cherry Crumble Pie.
Cherry Crumble Pie: The Easy Way
If you’ve been on here before, you know that we take no shame in finding shortcuts and easy ways to make recipes. We believe that comfort food doesn’t just taste delicious, it’s also easy to make! What is so comforting about getting 20 different, hard-to-find ingredients and spending 5 hours in the kitchen?
So we’ve made this Cherry Crumble Pie the easiest way possible. It really helps that we are using frozen cherries and a store bought pie crust. Other than that, there is only 5 other ingredients and probably already have them in your kitchen! And with a couple minutes of prep, you’ll be smelling this pie baking in the oven! Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:
For the pie:
- 1 deep dish frozen pie shell, thawed
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 cups frozen cherries
- 1 tbsp butter
For the streusel/crumble topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup butter
Do You Need To Use Frozen Cherries For This Recipe?
If you really want to, you can probably use canned cherries for this recipe. You may have some lying around in your cupboard. Go ahead and give them a try. If you do, you may want to dial back on the corn starch a bit as I don’t think the canned cherries will shed off as much moisture as the frozen cherries.
Cherry Crumble Pie: Other Notes, Tips and Variations
- We recommend placing the pie shell (while still in its aluminum pan) on a baking sheet to make it easier to put in and take out of the oven.
- Add some 1/2 tsp of almond extract to the pie filling to give it a little flavor boost!
- Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
