Mix all ingredients together to make crumbs. Press all but 1/2 cup into bottom of pan. Spread about 4 cups cherry filling or any thickened fruit on crust. Top with remaining crumbs and bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.

I like a pineapple filling for the middle:

Cook filling till thick in saucepan. Cool before using. I like to put 1 tsp. grated orange in the crumb mixture.
