Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves
1 cup sliced almonds
Turbinado sugar, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients except Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves, sliced almonds, and turbinado sugar. Mix well.
Fold in 1/2 cup sliced almonds, being careful not to over mix.
Spoon batter into well-greased muffin tins, filling the cups 1/2 full.
Spoon a teaspoon of Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves into the center of each muffin cup, then spoon more muffin batter on top so the cups are about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle sliced almonds and a pinch of turbinado sugar evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden.
