How to Make Microwave Cherry Crisp

  1. Combine 21 ounces (1 can or 2 1/2 cups) cherry pie filling and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in an ungreased 1 ½-quart microwave-safe dish.
  2. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
  4. Cut in 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cherry pie filling.
  7. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes, then reduce power to 50% and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  8. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  10. Yield: 4 servings
