Brown Butter Frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°

Streusel

  • In a small bowl combine the flour, sugar, and brown sugar together.
  • Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse sand.
  • Spread over a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes or until just golden.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Reduce the oven to 350°.

Peach Filling

  • In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add all filling ingredients.
  • Stir until combined and sugar is melted.
  • Cook down for 10-12 minutes or until the sauce has thickened by 3⁄4.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

Cupcakes

  • Line a 24-count muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda together and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together on high until creamy. About 4-5 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides and fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
  • Add vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Next add the flour mixture, and mix until incorporated.
  • Gently fold in sour cream.
  • Add peaches, and fold in slightly until just combined.
  • Fill each cupcake liner 3⁄4 full.
  • Top each cupcake with streusel.
  • Using the tip of a knife or a toothpick swirl the streusel into each cupcake.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven, and let cool on a cooling rack.

Brown Butter Frosting

  • In a small saucepan add butter and melt over medium low heat.
  • Simmer until slightly browned but not black. About 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to a solid state (can be put in the fridge to cool quickly).
  • In a large mixing bowl, add solidified browned butter, and cream cheese. Beat until combined.
  • Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat until combined.
  • Add remaining powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

Notes

Tips
  • Fresh ripe peaches provide the best flavor and texture. If peaches aren't in season, frozen peaches work well too.
  • Warm cupcakes can cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
  • Watch the butter closely as it browns. It can go from perfect to burnt very quickly.
  • Butter is browned when there are little bits of solids at the bottom, and it has a deep amber color and nutty flavor.
