Chocolate Cherry Crunch

Cast of Characters: cherry pie filling; fudge brownie mix; chopped pecans; quick-cooking oats; melted, unsalted butter.



Preheat oven to 350°.

Pour pie filling in the bottom of an ungreased 13X9" baking pan; set aside.



Pour brownie mix in a large bowl.





Mix in pecans and oats.





Blend in melted butter with dry ingredients together until coarse crumbs form; sprinkle over pie filling. The best way to mix it is to just dig in and get your hands dirty.

Note: I put in too much butter (twice the amount), so it should be drier, kind of like streusel. Also, I didn't completely melt the butter, but it was close enough.



Bake for 30 minutes. Cherries should be bubbly.
