Peach Pie Cupcakes Recipe

So do you remember the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies I posted last week? And how the hubs wasn’t going to stop pestering me until I made him more? Well I finally did at the end of last week and he was thrilled.

A little later he went to go get another cookie and saw that I’d eaten one. He was not happy. Apparently, if I want cookies, I have to make my own because those are his.

I’m sorry, did I make those? Doesn’t that make them mine and I’m just kindly sharing. 😉 He’s such a nut. And big cookie guy.

He didn’t actually get around to tasting these Peach Pie Cupcakes because they were made the same week as the cookies and I couldn’t catch his attention long enough to shove one in his mouth.

One of my other regular taste testers did taste them though. And he declared them to be his favorite cupcake so far.

To be fair, he’s a big peach guy. Peach fuzz and all.

They are delicious though. The icing is pure peach heaven and gives the cupcakes most of the peach flavor. There are chunks of peach in the cupcakes as well, but the icing is where it’s at.

Tips for Making Peach Pie Cupcakes

One note about making the icing. Peaches are more or less liquid-y depending on how ripe they are. More ripe = more liquid. So when making the icing, start with about 5 tbsp of peach puree and then add more from there until you get the right flavor and consistency. If your peaches are more ripe, you probably won’t want to use as much puree if you want a thicker icing.

However, if you find you’ve added too much puree, you can always thicken it back up with more powdered sugar. Icing is forgiving like that. It’s one of it’s many great qualities.

The cupcake is full of cinnamon – the most important flavor next to the peaches in a peach pie. You must have plenty of cinnamon. Yum!

And as with all cupcakes, make sure not to overcook them. Check them at 17 or 18 minutes and give them more time if needed. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few crumbs when they are done.

These cupcakes would be perfect for anytime, but also the upcoming July 4th holiday. Next to apple pie, I’d say peach pie is pretty American. So why not celebrate with a cupcake version!

Description

These Peach Pie Cupcakes have all the best elements of peach pie rolled into a cupcake – cinnamon, sugar, and of course, peaches. These moist & fluffy cupcakes may become your new favorite summer dessert recipe!


Ingredients

CUPCAKE

  • 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 + 1/8 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup diced peaches

PEACH ICING

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 45 cups powdered sugar
  • 57 tbsp peach puree
  • 1214 peach slices for topping, if desired

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk together flour, sugars, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add butter, egg whites, vanilla, sour cream and milk and mix on medium speed until smooth.
4. Stir in peaches.
5. Fill cupcake liners a little more than half way.
6. Bake 18-20 minutes.
7. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling.
8. To make the icing, beat the shortening and butter until smooth.
9. Slowly add 3 cups of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
10. Mix in 5 tbsp of peach puree.
11. Add the rest of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
12. Add more peach puree to get the right consistency and flavor. The more puree added, the thinner the icing will be. If it gets too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Notes

For the cupcakes and icing, only 3-4 peaches should be needed. More will be needed if you want to top the cupcakes with peach slices.

    Hey friend! This recipe must have been edited at some point but between step 3 and 4 there’s not specific steps to combine

    1. Lindsay

      The dry ingredients are combined, the wet ingredients are added and then the peaches are added. It’s written that way, but admittedly this is an old recipe and could use some more updated instructions.

  2. Marie

    I would like to make into a cake 9” round how long would u recommend I bake for I’m thinking 26- 28 min you recipes are incredible I must have made half of your cake/cookie recipes already and each one has turned out nothing less than perfect

  3. Tabitha

    Hi there. I really want to try this recipe for an upcoming event – do I need to blanche and/or peel the peaches before mixing them into the cupcake and into a puree? These sound so good and I’m looking forward to trying them out! 

  4. Jennis

    Hi! Made this recipe today and they were scrumptious!!! The cupcakes didn’t rise as I thought should. I double checked my ingredients. I swapped plain Greek yogurt for sour cream and I baked them in silicone cupcake pans. I did use peaches I canned last summer, but drained them before stirring them in! Thanks!! 

  5. Renee Spreadbury

    Hi I have a quick question.  I have made your fresh strawberry cupcakes delish I must say so as I was reading over this recipe for the peach pie cupcakes I noticed the milk and sour cream measurements are switched from the ones in the strawberry cupcakes.  I just wanted to make sure I do switch them.  Thanks and I love your recipes!!!  They are a hit with my family and friends also!!!!

    1. Lindsay

      Gosh, it’s been a while since I made them both, but I do believe it’s correct. The two fruits have different amounts of moisture in them and I remember playing around with them both to get them right, so it should be correct as written. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the recipes! Thanks Renee!

      I haven’t tried it so it’s hard to say. You’d probably want to double the recipe though if you try it.

    Hi

    Can you actually taste the peach flavor in these cupcakes, sometimes when you bake with fruit the flavor gets lost in the baked good.

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      Yes, there’s a fair amount of peaches in the cupcakes, so the bites with the peaches have the most peach flavor. The icing also packs a lot of peach flavor.

  7. Kelley

    I am about to try making these – they look delicious – but was wondering if the butter in the cupcake recipe is salted or unsalted.

    Lindsey: when I mentioned in your post with the Neapolitan cake about taking forever. The story is I made your Peach Pie Cupcakes, it took me 3 days to get them finished. You see I had this back surgery in Jan.14 & I am doing great but the things like I always fixed such as baking are going to have to wait until I am a lot stronger. But your cupcakes tasted great, even though I didn’t ice them. I would have if I had been taking them to a covered dish event. Thanks for all the good recipes you post, & the Bible verses & your testimony.

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      I’m so sorry to hear about your back! I don’t know if you saw in a post from last week, but I’ve been having a little back trouble too. Not nearly as bad as yours, but I certainly understand how back pain can change things. Not fun at all! I hope you have a speedy recovery! And I’m so glad you enjoy the recipes and the blog! Thank you so much for reading! 🙂

    Peach pie cupcakes=total awesomesauce!! And seriously, they are bakery shop worthy! 🙂 So pretty!

  10. Julianne @ Beyond Frosting

    I have been trying to get over here to comment on this for like a week! I am so in love!!!

  11. Jess @ On Sugar Mountain

    See I love pie but hate making it, so making a peach pie CUPCAKE is freakin’ brilliant! All the fun flavor of pie without any of the stress. 😀 Count me in!

  12. Jackie

    Hi
    Can I use frozen or canned peaches in this recipe, or fresh peaches is a must. Also, how do you make peach puree.

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      I would recommend fresh peaches in this case. If you try the canned or frozen peaches, you’ll want to make sure to wash them off and let them dry before using them. The added moisture could affect the way the cupcake bakes. I also mentioned in the post that more liquid in the peaches can affect the icing as well, so check that out. To make peach puree, just put peaches in a blender or food processor and puree until most of the chunks are smooth.

    Peach Pie is definitely high on the list of “All American”. Turn it into a cupcake, and I think it moved up the list a little more! These sound delicious. And I have to say, your photos are all so pretty, and so are all your cake stands. I love looking at them!

  14. Emma

    These look absolutely delicious! Three of my favourite things combined: peaches, cinnamon and cupcakes – I can’t wait to try out this recipe, my mouth is watering already. Pinning this for future reference!
