Instructions
Now, let's get baking:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the Crumble: In a bowl, combine the oats, unsalted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Use clean hands or a fork to mix the ingredients until they clump together and resemble crumbs. Set this bowl aside for later.
- Prepare the Cake Mix: In a larger bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box.
- Fill the Cupcake Wrappers: Place cupcake wrappers in the cupcake pan. Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to fill each wrapper a little over halfway with the cake batter.
- Add the Crumble: Sprinkle some of the prepared crumble on top of the cake batter in each cupcake wrapper.
- Bake: Bake the cupcakes according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
- Cool the Cupcakes: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Assemble the Cupcakes: Fill a piping bag with vanilla buttercream and secure the end. Pipe the buttercream around the top of each cupcake, leaving a small gap in the middle.
- Add Crumble and Peaches: Sprinkle the remaining crumble on top of the buttercream, followed by the sliced peaches.
- Drizzle the Glaze: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cupcakes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place your Peach Crumble Cupcakes on a plate or platter, and they're ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
- For an extra burst of peach flavor, consider adding some of the syrup from the canned peaches to your glaze mix.
- This recipe yields approximately 6 cupcakes, but you can easily double the recipe or freeze the leftover cake mix for future use.
- While these cupcakes are best enjoyed on the same day, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly, but the flavor will remain delicious.
