Here's an easy Cherry Tart recipe that is covered in delicious butter streusel - a traditional German cake that's so easy to make.
Using cherries and peaches in combination makes this tart extra special.
A 10-inch pie or tart pan with a removable bottom is ideal. It makes serving so much easier and the finished tart looks so pretty too.
Fresh cherries are best. Wash and pit them. You can use canned ones, but fresh is best.
For the peaches, using canned peach halves is fine. If using fresh, peel them first by briefly plunging into boiling water to help loosen peel.
