Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons firm butter or margarine
1 jar (10 oz) maraschino cherries, drained, 1/4 cup juice reserved
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil

These muffins were a complete disaster. They were dry, crumbly, and had no flavor.
