My peach cobbler cupcakes bring a taste of Southern comfort in every bite. These little beauties combine fluffy cake, sweet peaches, crunchy streusel, and creamy frosting, creating pure magic. After perfecting this recipe in my kitchen, they've become my most requested summer dessert.
A Perfect Sweet Treat
Something wonderful happens when you combine tender cupcakes with warm peach cobbler flavors. That brown sugar streusel adds just the right crunch, while fresh peaches bring summer sweetness in every bite. I love watching faces light up when these appear at picnics and parties.

Let's Start Baking
- The Base

- Mix streusel ingredients, spread on pan, bake till golden, crumble when cool
- Putting it Together
- Pipe frosting around edges, fill center with streusel, top with peaches, sprinkle more crumbs
My Baking Secrets
Take eggs and butter out early, makes mixing so much easier. Don't overmix your batter, keeps cupcakes light and fluffy. Use my ice cream scoop trick for perfect portions. Fresh peaches need a little draining, prevents soggy cakes.
Mix It Up
Sometimes I add a spoonful of sour cream, makes them extra moist. Try mixing berries with peaches for something different. Hide some streusel in the middle for surprise crunch. Light whipped cream works beautifully instead of frosting.
Keep Them Fresh
Let these beauties come to room temp before serving. Store them covered in the fridge up to four days. Quick warm up in the microwave brings back that fresh baked taste.
Common Questions
Fresh peaches work great, just add lemon juice and sugar. Buttercream frosting tastes amazing too. Make them ahead, they keep well in the fridge.
