For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before incorporating it into the crumb topping. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with other nuts in the topping, such as pecans or walnuts. A splash of almond extract added to the cherry filling will enhance the almond flavor.
