Montmorency Sour Cherry Crumble

A summer crumble is an absolute favorite of mine! This recipe was born out of a straight up abundance of these sour cherries! There is a Montmorency cherry tree where I live that bursts each year with tons of these little red cherries, full of sweet and sour juice.

It’s almost impossible to eat them all even though my daughter can put away her fair share. We are still left flooded with cherries and so this year this sour cherry crumble was born as part of the solution.

I’m so pleased with how it turned out! Slightly sweet yet still tangy it’s perfect for those who want a sweet treat but don’t want to overdue it. It’s also perfect to be sweetened up further with some vanilla ice cream if that’s more your jam!!

I used honey as the sweetener here so it has tons of added flavor without weighing you down. Add this sweet and simple treat to your list this week before cherry season takes the rest of the year off! 😉

Eat and Enjoy,
Nicole
