Ingredients

Scale

For the Cupcakes:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), room temperature

1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs, room temperature

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups milk

For the Peach Topping:

1 tbsp unsalted butter

3 cups peaches, peeled, cored, and chopped

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2/3 cup water, plus 2 tbsp divided

2 tsp cornstarch

For the Crumb Topping:

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup oats

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Frosting:

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (3 sticks), room temperature

4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Cream Butter & Sugar: Using a mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Incorporate Dry and Wet: With the mixer on low, alternate adding dry ingredients and milk in three parts, beginning and ending with the dry mix.
  5. Bake: Divide batter evenly among liners (fill about 3/4 full). Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
  6. Make Peach Topping: Melt butter in a skillet, then stir in chopped peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Simmer with 2/3 cup water until peaches are soft. Mix cornstarch with remaining water, stir into peaches, and cook until thickened. Let cool.
  7. Make Crumb Topping: Set oven to 400°F. Mix melted butter, sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon. Crumble mixture onto a baking sheet and bake 10-15 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  8. Prepare Frosting: Beat butter on medium speed for 5 minutes. Slowly add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Increase speed and whip until light and fluffy.
  9. Assemble: Pipe frosting around cupcake edges, leaving a well in the center. Fill with peach topping and sprinkle with crumb topping.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.

Chill peach topping before adding it to cupcakes.

Freeze unfrosted cupcakes for later decorating.

Great for parties, showers, or summer picnics.
