Light Cherry Berry Crisp

This lightened-up Cherry Berry Crisp is one of those simple desserts that feels special without requiring much effort. Sweet cherries, juicy berries, and a crisp cinnamon-oat topping bake into a warm, bubbly dessert that’s cozy, colorful, and surprisingly WW-friendly.

What makes this recipe such a favorite around here is the contrast of textures—the soft fruit filling underneath and the lightly crunchy topping on top. It’s easy enough for a weeknight treat but pretty enough for casual entertaining too.

Best of all, it’s perfectly portioned for smaller households. The recipe makes just 6 servings, though it can easily be doubled for a crowd.

Ingredients & Substitutions

For the Fruit Filling

• Cherry pie filling — Light cherry pie filling keeps the calories and WW Points lower, but regular works too.
• Blueberries — Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well. You can also substitute raspberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries, or a mixed berry blend.
• Almond extract — Adds wonderful flavor to the cherries, though vanilla extract works if preferred.
• Zero-calorie sweetener — Truvia Baking Blend (affiliate link) or your favorite cup-for-cup sweetener works well.

For the Crunch Topping

• All-purpose flour — Helps create the crisp topping. White whole wheat flour also works.
• Quick oats — Adds texture and crunch.
• Ground cinnamon — Brings warmth and flavor.
• Cold butter — Just a small amount gives the topping richness and crisp texture.

Optional Toppings

• Light whipped topping
• Light vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
• Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

How Many Calories and WW Points?

According to my calculations, each serving has about 140 calories. If using light cherry pie filling, each serving has 6 WW Points (without additional toppings). If using regular cherry pie filling, each serving has 8 WW Points (without additional toppings).

How to Make Cherry Berry Crunch

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 375F degrees.

Step 3: Combine the cherry pie filling, blueberries, almond extract and 1 tablespoon Truvia in a medium bowl and mix well.

Step 4: Divide the berry filling evenly among six ramekins—about 1/2 cup in each one.

Step 5: Stir together the remaining sweetener, flour, quick oats and cinnamon in a small bowl (affiliate link). Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender (affiliate link), or forks, until crumbly.

Step 6: Divide sprinkle crumble topping over berry filling.

Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until topping turns golden and berry mixture is hot and bubbly.

Step 8: Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9: Enjoy desserts plain, with a dollop of light whipped topping, a small scoop of light ice cream or frozen yogurt, or a spoonful of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Rather than making individual dessert crumbles, pour berry filling into baking dish and sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until topping is golden and berry mixture is hot and bubbly. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

This Cherry Berry Crunch is delicious:
