Fresh Cherry Crisp

Excuse my duh! moment. A few days ago when I posted the banana nut muffin recipe I had plans to post something even yummier. Ta Da! I have so many frozen sour cherries in the freezer I knew it was time to start using them up. Christopher and I have been eating vanilla ice cream topped with warm cherry crisp every night. Delish! He can't stop raving about it's deliciousness. I love when he loves something I make for him. Baking bliss.

Recipe so old I have no clue where it's from.
