Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup softened butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.
  6. Spoon a portion of cherry pie filling into the center of each muffin.
  7. Cover the cherry filling with the remaining batter.
  8. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and softened butter until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin portion comes out clean.
  11. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Fresh or frozen cherries can be substituted for cherry pie filling.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for enhanced cherry flavor.
  • A simple powdered sugar glaze can be drizzled over cooled muffins.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerate for up to 5 days for longer freshness.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for the best texture.
  • Mini muffin tins can be used with reduced baking time.
  • Serve slightly warm for the best cobbler-like experience.
