what are some other fruits to use in this recipe?
- Apples
- Apples and cinnamon are a match made in food heaven! You could substitute the cherries for slices of apples and have a new and interesting version of apple pie.
- Pears
- I know that pears don’t seem like an obvious choice, but pear cobbler is super tasty and I think that canned pears would be perfect for this tasty crumble of sorts.
- Blueberries
- This suggestion is a no brainer! Blueberries are simply delicious and so versatile. They would be perfect for this dessert and that would make it more of a summertime treat!
