Cherry Pie Crumble 

Cherry season is here and it is definitely my favorite time of year. I absolutely LOVE cherries! I am so fortunate to live near Palisade, Colorado which is home to some of the finest cherries. I was lucky enough this year to get a couple orders of fresh organic cherries from Sage Creations Organic Farm which also sells the most heavenly assortments of lavender...I highly commend stopping by their farm if you are ever in the area!

Not only am I a fan of cherries, but also a fan of any recipe having to do with cherries...especially cherry pie. I am a firm believer that you absolutely do NOT have to sacrifice taste and flavor in order to be healthy. I say, you can have your pie and eat it, too! :) I love that my version of cherry pie is so healthy that you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert! Be sure to check out my other super simple and healthy desserts like my Better Than Apple Pie Apple Crisp and my Peach Cobbler. Hope you enjoy!
