Peach Cobbler Cupcakes

These peach cobbler cupcakes are a fun twist on a traditional summer dessert.   They are perfect for your next BBQ or backyard party. 

Peach Cobbler Cupcakes are vanilla cupcakes topped with a creamy vanilla frosting, peach pie filling, and a delicious crumble. 

Growing up in Georgia peaches were a staple in our household every summer. Now, that I’m an adult, peaches are still a star every summer.

I love to use peaches in desserts and peach cobbler has always been a favorite of my husband. But, I love cakes. So, I mixed out two favorites together and came up with these peach cobbler cupcakes. If you love easy cupcake recipes you will enjoy this Apple Pie Cupcakes recipe.

How To Make Peach Cobbler Cupcakes

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line the cupcake pan with the liners.

Step 2. Using a hand or standing mixer, beat together all ingredients until combined and mixed.

Step 3. Scoop batter into the liners filling them ⅔ the way full.

Step 4. Bake in the oven for 19 minutes or until a light golden brown

Step 5. Using a standing mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar,

heavy whipping cream, and vanilla until smooth and stiff with peaks

Step 6. Scoop frosting into the piping bag.

Step 7. Combine all crumble ingredients into a medium bowl. Using your fingers, mix ingredients together until combined and crumble like. 

Step 8.  Pipe a ring of frosting onto the top of the cupcake. Repeat the step again to have a “wall” of frosting.

Step 9. Remove some peaches from the can and cut them into smaller bites. Scoop some of the peaches into the center of the frosting. Sprinkle some crumble on top.

TIPS

• I used canned peach pie filling for this recipe, but you can use homemade if you prefer.   
• Make sure that your butter is at room temperature before making your vanilla frosting.  Using cold butter will cause your frosting to be lumpy or have clumps instead of smooth and creamy.  
• When making your crumble you will need to use melted butter.  Your crumble should be the texture of wet sand.  You will want it to be slightly clumped. 
• Want to take your cupcakes to the next level?  Add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to your batter for a bigger flavor in the cupcakes.
