Do you remember McDonald’s cherry pie? Crunchy crust and gentle, sour-sweet cherry filling. This crumble has an exact taste and texture as McDonald’s cherry pie. And who doesn’t like food from McDonald’s? Do you see where I’m going?
Yeah, this dessert is damn good. But this is only one of two of its aces. The second one is the time for cooking. It’ll take you only 5-7 minutes from the moment you take cherries of the freezer to the moment you open the oven.
It doesn’t need any preparation beforehand. And it takes as much time like we’re cooking some sort of fast food.

How to Make Cherry Crumble in 5 Minutes: Step-by-Step Instructions🔪
Let’s not waste time! Turn on the oven and heat it up to 175 degrees, top-bottom.
Take the cherries of the freezer. We’ll need 200 g (7 oz) for two servings.
If you are planning to cook per serving, you’ll need 2 ramekins. These are cylindrical ceramic forms for souffle, crème Brulé, and many other dishes.
If you don’t have such forms and anything else to replace, I suggest tripling the number of ingredients and use a flat 20×30 baking form.
Put cherries on the bottom. I do it in two layers. If you’re using a big form, most likely you’ll have one.
Add 1 tsp of sugar upfront to each form, and spread it evenly.
The same way add there 1 tsp of flour. You can also add a pinch of ground cinnamon and ginger.
Put 30-50 g (1,2-1,8 oz) of chopped unsalted butter to the casserole, and melt it in the small fire.
Wait until golden and take off the fire.
In a small bowl mix 75 g (2,7 oz) of sugar, 50 g (1,8 oz) of the first-grade wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and ½ tsp of baking powder. Mix until smooth.
Beat 1 egg into a deep bowl and whip it a bit with a fork. Add half of the whipped egg to the bowl with sugar and flour, and mix.
I used brown sugar here, but you can replace it with a regular white one, it’s nor significant here.
Put the mix on the cherries, try to spread it evenly. Add melted butter on top.
That’s all. All you need to do is to wait until the oven is heated up enough and put forms in there.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the top crust is golden and there’s some cherry juice on top. When ready, let them rest and cool down for 15-20 minutes.

I tried this with blackberries and it was wonderful. Used White sugar. Perfect for two.
