I made these as muffins, and they were great! I followed other reviewers, and added salt, almond extract and almonds (to the topping). The almonds really bring out the cherry flavor. I did not have pie filling, so I used one cup of cherry preserves. I also subbed 1/4 cup of the fat as applesauce, and it worked very well. I baked the muffins at 375 convection for 22 minutes. The recipe yielded 12 large (and yummy) muffins. Love the topping!

This was a very nice, light cake, with great texture! I love cherries, so I made the recipe as is. I think I might add a wee bit of almond flavoring to the cherries and/or to the batter next time to help bring out the flavor of the cherries. Yum!! This was excellent and so versatile! Made for ZWT4 for the CAFE ZMAAK Gypsies!!

This was delicious!!! So easy to put together. I used a 10" spring form pan which worked great (I greased the pan as well).I mixed the crumbs in my food processor,then placed the mixture in a bowl and added the rest of the ingredients. I served it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream placed along side.It looked devine.My guests questioned whether I had purchased this coffee cake from a bakery. All guests agreed this recipe had to have 5 stars.Another winner Gerry.

This is so easy, I made using a cherry cranberry pie filling by E D Smith. I also added to the final crumb mixture about 1/4 cup broken sliced blanched almonds. I also greased the pan, which was not stated. and I added 1/2 tsp. salt...This is a very nice family / company coffee cake..warm or cold..Thanks for the recipe..
