Peachy Bourbon Crumble Cupcakes

August 3, 2012 by bblondie 31 Comments

Peachy Bourbon Crumble Cupcakes | ButtercreamBlondie.com

Good morning!  I have a new cupcake recipe for you today that needs to find a spot in your weekend plans!  I turned my peach and almond crumble into a cupcake, and this little treat packs a ton of flavor.  Between the fresh peaches, the pop of bourbon, and the crunchy crumble topping, these little summer cupcakes hit all the right marks.


My initial thought when I get my hands on some gorgeous peaches is to make a crumble, but I thought it would be fun to turn it into a cupcake.  Peaches have a very delicate flavor and I wanted them to be the focus of the cupcake, so I had to make sure that each component complemented one another without overwhelming.  I opted to go with my creme fraiche cupcake recipe which worked extremely well.  The creme fraiche keeps them incredibly light and lets the flavor of the peaches shine through.  I added some bourbon to the recipe which pairs beautifully with the peaches, and you’ll also notice that I added a small amount of cinnamon.  While they’re definitely not knock you over the head in the cinnamon department, it’s that one ingredient that makes it all pop.

Once the cupcakes were done, I got to work on the crumble topping.  I made my go to recipe, and the only difference was that I baked it on a sheet pan.  They’re like little brown sugar oat sprinkles that you will not be able to stop snacking on.  I wanted to keep these super light and airy, so I went with whipped cream for the frosting.  Of course I had to spike the whipped cream because why wouldn’t I?!  A little bourbon and some vanilla bean paste, and just try not to eat it all before you get it on the cupcakes… The spiked whipped cream is like a little fluffy cloud of goodness perched on top of the cupcake, and the almond crumble sprinkled over it gives that perfect crunch that will leave you feeling quite peachy!  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Notes

You can use sour cream in place of the creme fraiche, but I really suggest creme fraiche. It keeps them light.

You will need 1 cup diced fresh peaches for this recipe. 1 large peach worked perfectly for me.

Crumble topping must be cold when you bake it.

Sprinkle the cupcake with crumble topping right before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.

    Meghan, I’ve just popped over from Twitter for a closer look. This is a splendid idea to pair peaches and bourbon together in a cupcake. At this writing, it’s still morning, but admittedly the notion of a spalsh of bourbon awakens me. Picture pefect from crumbly top to wrapper bottom. Brava!
