These were wonderful! Since it was my first time making them I had some difficulty...I filled the muffin tins half full but I didn't have quite enough batter for the top. So, next time I'd fill them alittle less than half to start and take another reviews suggestion and pat the top of the muffins and pat them into a disk before I topped them. For the filling I didn't have cherry so I used strawberry preserved-it was awesome! They were wonderful muffins!
This is a very yummy muffin. Will definitely make it again.
I have made this twice now and it is amazing. The best muffin I have ever had. Batter is almost like dough so I just pat small amount in bottom of each muffin hole, do filling, then pat out little disk of dough and place on top. It makes 9 regular size muffins. I fill to the top of hole and pile on crumbs. It does not raise much so that works perfect. Just make sure you take them out of tin after 4 or 5 minutes of cooling. I have left over cheesecake batter so each time so I make 2 little cheesecakes in the muffin tin too. These muffins are worth the extra time and effort.
ACTUALLY, I want to try this recipe-I never made it before, but I can gurantee that it will be good!
Love this recipe. Also make it as a coffee cake. Awesome!
