I don’t know if my mom actually made this recipe up or if she got it from her mother. All I know is – I love it! She made this cherry crunch pie recipe a lot. It’s easy to make and it’s definitely been a family favorite for years. Both kids and adults will love this pie recipe.
Mom’s Cherry Crunch Pie
Ingredients:
1 jar of pitted cherries in water (16 oz.)
1 box of yellow cake mix
1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
5 tablespoons of butter
Directions:
Butter the pie plate or spray it. Put the whole jar of pitted cherries in with a squirt of lemon juice. Next add dry cake mix in a bowl. Mix with a fork and add the 5 tablespoons of hot melted butter and 1/2 cup crushed walnuts. Mix the ingredients in the bowl with a fork and then pour over the cherries in the pie plate. Be sure and start in the middle and then go outdoors towards the edges as you fill the pie plate. Bake for 30 minutes at 300° in the oven.
This is such a delicious recipe that when I’m in the mood to make this cherry crunch pie I almost can’t wait for it to finish baking. I serve it with a little Cool Whip on top of each slice. This could also be a great idea for a delicious dessert to top off a wonderful Valentine’s Day meal – husbands love this! As they say the key to a man’s heart is through his stomach and it doesn’t get much better than my Mom’s Cherry crunch pie. Enjoy.
