Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cupcake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
2. Fill the Cupcake Liners
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
3. Prepare the Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the Topping and Bake
Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping over each cupcake. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can substitute with frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Storage: Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month.
- Variation: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a bright, citrusy twist.
