There was a long debate with my self and on my Instagram about what to call this amazing and delicious paleo cherry dessert. I first couldn’t decide between a dump cake or a cobbler. But after talking to a few of my foodie friends about what the differences are, I realized that what I made was a cherry crumble recipe.

Vegan & Paleo Cherry Crumble Recipe

No matter what it’s called, you really need to make this amazing treat that’s so easy to throw together and super tasty. The bottom layer can be made using fresh or frozen cherries, and the cherry crumble topping is just the perfect texture that’s crunchy and crispy at the same time.

How To Make Cherry Crumble Recipe

This is truly one of the easiest recipes that actually looks way fancier and more decadent than the amount of effort it takes to make it. The only thing you have to deal with is turning on the oven in the heat, if you are making this during peak cherry season. Here’s how to make this cherry crumble recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Stir together pitted and halved cherries, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in an 8×8 baking dish, or in any 2 quart baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cherry crumble topping ingredients.
  4. Evenly cover the cherries with the topping mixture.
  5. Drizzle melted coconut oil over the topping, doing the best you can to cover every part of it. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the cherries are bubbling up from the bottom and the top layer is golden brown.

This has quickly become one of our favorite easy cherry desserts, and I love that the cooking process is so simple too!

Tips for Making This Gluten Free Summer Dessert

  • You can use fresh or frozen cherries for this cherry crumble. If using frozen cherries, defrost them until they are soft enough to easily slice in half. You can then use them right away.
  • Mine was ready after baking for 50 minutes. Depending on your oven, yours may take longer or shorter. I would start checking after 45 minutes. It’s ready when the cherry crumble topping is browned and hardened.
  • This yummy vegan and paleo cherry dessert is delicious on its own. However, it’s even better with some coconut whipped cream or vanilla ice cream! I topped mine while it was still warm with store-bought dairy-free vanilla ice cream. The ice cream melted into the crumble and it was heavenly. I highly recommend this combo!

    This is so-easy to make! The only changes were that I used 1/3 a cup of coconut sugar and 16 oz of frozen cherries (mostly defrosted). This recipe is definitely a keeper.
