Tips, Variations, and Storage
The cherry crisp can be prepared in advance if you plan to serve it at room temperature or even cold.
But if you prefer it warm and crispy, bake it at the last moment.
You can, in any case, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing bad odors or changing taste.
If you do not like cherries, feel free to prepare it with the fruit you prefer.
