Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 1.5 cups fresh peaches, diced
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (crumble topping)
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar (crumble topping)
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (crumble topping)
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened (frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (frosting)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Equipment

  • muffin tins
  • cupcake liners
  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • pastry cutter or fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  2. Make the crumble topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Refrigerate.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
  4. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
  5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in diced peaches gently. Fill liners two-thirds full and top with crumble.
  7. Bake 20–24 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  8. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until fluffy.
  9. Pipe or spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes and serve.

Notes

Toss diced peaches with flour to prevent sinking and keep butter very cold for the best crumble texture.
