Ingredients:

For the cupcakes:

• 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup oil
• 3 large eggs

For the topping:

• ¼ cup all purpose flour
• ¼ cup quick oats
• 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
• 2 tsp granulated white sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions:

Preheat a 350 degree oven and line cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

Once the cupcakes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about one hour. 

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Spread the flour mixture onto a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Crumble once cooled.

Cut any of the large peach chunks into smaller pieces.

Once the cupcakes are cooled, add the frosting to a piping bag equipped with the 1A frosting tip, and pipe frosting around the edge of the cupcake, leaving the center of the cupcake hollow.

Add a spoonful of the crumble mixture to the center of each cupcake. To the top of the cupcake, garnish with peach filling and/or a fresh peach slice and a sprinkle of the crumbly topping.

Tips for Baking Peach Cupcakes

• When incorporating peaches into your cupcake batter, dice the peach wedges into small, uniform pieces. This allows for even distribution of the peaches throughout the cupcakes, ensuring each bite is bursting with peachy goodness. Finely diced peaches also blend seamlessly with the cupcake batter, creating a harmonious texture.
• To bring out the warm and comforting flavors of a traditional peach cobbler, consider incorporating additional spices like a teaspoon nutmeg or a touch of ginger to add depth and complexity to the overall taste. Start with small amounts, adjusting according to your preference.
• Pecans can be added to the topping or sprinkled on top of the peaches for added flavor and texture. 
• Once your peach cobbler cupcakes are baked and cooled, store them properly to maintain their freshness. Place them in an airtight container or cover them tightly with plastic wrap. Keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life. However, cupcakes with a crumble topping are best enjoyed within the first day or two.
