Mmmm! Absolutely delicious! The tart of the cherries is balanced by the sweetness of the almond crumble, creating the perfect blend or sweet and sour. I substituted yogurt for the sour cream and it turned out perfectly. Ingredients:
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 1/3 cups canned tart cherries, drained |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
3. Topping: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, flour, and cinnamon until blended and crumbly. Stir in almonds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Muffins: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, sour cream, oil, and almond extract until well blended.
6. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended, Gently fold in cherries.
7. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with topping.
