brown sugar, tapioca and kirsch. Pour cherry filling into greased
baking pan or dish; drizzle melted butter or margarine on top and set
aside.
In another large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously
with a wooden spoon about 30 seconds until a stiff dough forms.

cobblestone effect. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden
brown. Cool 30 minutes; then serve with kirsch-flavored whipped cream.
