This was terrible! Very mushy and
not tasty at all

Mushy. Not sweet enough. Very amateurish-looking. A bad all-around recipe.
This is so easy and very tasty. It makes a nice presentation.
Thanks

I guess the Semi-Homemade thing is just not for me. I haven’t cared for most of the things I’ve tried and this one was one of the worst. Making traditional cherry crumble isn’t all that hard or time-consuming and the results far outweigh the time you “save” with this recipe. And buying cherry brandy (which I will never use again) is a complete waste of money.
1/4 cup cherry brandy
how many people have cherry brandy on hand and if you did how often would you use it, putting the cherries in a Crockpot after heating them up was a waste of time

The only part people enjoyed was the ice cream …. 🙁
wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Not sweet and barley tasted like cherries. And I agree that it was way too much work.
The whole crock pot thing was a big waste of time. The recipe is way more bother than it’s worth. The crumble was mediocre at best.
