Enjoy the flavors of summer with these delightful Peach Cobbler Cupcakes. Bursting with juicy peaches, warm spices, and a fluffy whipped cream frosting, these cupcakes are a delightful twist on the classic peach cobbler dessert.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Process the peaches in a food processor or blender until smooth.
1 cup chopped peaches
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar on high speed using an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
½ cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating at high speed after each addition.
2 large eggs
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract on high speed.
¼ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in half of the flour mixture on low speed until it is just mixed in.
Add the peach puree to the mixing bowl and mix in low speed until fully incporated.
Add the remaining flour mixture and mix at low speed until the flour is no longer visible. Do not overmix.
Use a large scoop to divide the batter evenly between each cupcake liner.
Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Peach Filling
Combine the chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan.
1 cup chopped peaches, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to boil.
Once it starts to boil, continue stirring and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool completely.
Once both the cupcakes and the filling have cooled, use a cupcake corer or a knife to carefully remove the center of each cupcake, leaving the bottom ⅓ of the cupcake in tact.
Use a spoon to carefully fill each cupcake with filling. If your peaches are cut small enough, you could also use a piping bag with a 1A large round tip.
Transfer the whipped cream frosting to a piping bag using a star tip and pipe it onto the cupcakes. Add a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar and a peach slice for garnish, if desired.
3 cups stabilized whipped cream frosting
