I am a huge cherry fan. I hope you are too. There is just something amazing about these little tasty slightly tart blessings we call cherries. Tart in a good way. These scrumpdillylicious Lip Smacking Good Cherry Pie Crumble Bars brings out the best that cherries have to offer. The crumble is so amazing and complements the cherries perfectly bringing out the perfect combination of tart and sweet. You will find yourself picking up the little bit of crumbs that end up on your plate and sweeping them in your mouth. So amazingly delicious.
