Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two standard muffin tins with cupcake liners.
Whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, mixing until combined.
Fill liners ¾ full and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
For peach filling: cook peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon until juicy. Add cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool.
For crumb topping: combine all ingredients, crumble onto a baking sheet, and bake at 400°F for 10–15 minutes until golden.
For frosting: beat butter until creamy. Add sugar gradually, then vanilla and salt. Whip until light and fluffy.
Pipe frosting around cupcake edges, spoon peach filling into the center, and sprinkle with crumb topping.
Notes
Use ripe, fresh peaches for best flavor. You can prepare the filling and crumb topping in advance to save time. These cupcakes are great served chilled or at room temperature.
