How to Make Little Cherry Crumble Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease 8 custard cups or 4 (4.5 x 1.75 inch) foil tart pans.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture.
  6. To the remaining crumb mixture, add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  7. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  8. Stir in 1 cup plain yogurt and the zest of 1 lemon.
  9. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
  10. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  11. Divide two-thirds of the batter evenly among the prepared custard cups or tart pans, spreading it up the sides.
  12. Spoon 1/4 cup cherry pie filling into each cup over the batter.
  13. Drop the reserved crumb mixture by small spoonfuls over the cherry filling.
  14. Place the cups on a baking sheet.
  15. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
