Equipment
- oven adjusted to the center rack position
- 6 count jumbo muffin tin
- cutting board & knife
- can opener
- teaspoon
Ingredients
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
- 16 ounces Jumbo Buttermilk Biscuits *I used Aldi brand
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. You will also want to ensure the oven baking rack is positioned in the center.
- Spray a 6-count jumbo muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
- Open the biscuits and separate them into 8 biscuits. Using a rolling pin flatten one biscuit and then cut it into 4 quarters.
- Using a teaspoon, remove one cherry and place it in the center of the dough quarter. Carefully fold the edges and place the cherry-stuffed dough piece into the greased muffin tin. You will need 5-6 pieces per tin. It is okay if some cherry sauce spills out!
- Using a pastry brush, brush the little pieces of cherry stuffed dough with butter, and then sprinkle them with sugar.
- Add about a tablespoon of chocolate chips to each muffin.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes or until muffins are golden brown, fluffy, and crusty feeling to the touch.
- Enjoy warm!
