"Cherry Crisp Pie is popular because it's not overly sweet and has just the right bite to it. That makes it a true cherry lover's pie," says Kathy McCauley, owner of Kathy's Pies in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "The crumb topping is a nice twist on the traditional (double-crust) pie, giving it a shot of sweetness" with every bite.

This picture-perfect pie takes more than a flaky crust.

Instead, make this with Granny Smith, Jonathan or any sweet-tart heirloom apples.
