Peach Cinnamon Streusel Cups

Recipe Ingredients

Below is a look at the ingredients you'll need to bring this amazing breakfast or brunch indulgence to life. 

Cream Cheese: Provides richness, and tang. When softened, it blends beautifully, adding a luxurious creaminess that perfectly complements the sweet peaches.

Canned Peaches: Peaches bring natural sweetness, a lovely fruity aroma, and a tender texture. Draining them prevents a soggy pastry, and reserving the juice is a clever trick for your icing!

Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix: Serves as a convenient and reliable base for the pastry, containing pre-mixed flour, leavening, and shortening for consistent results. And Bisquick makes creating a perfectly crumbly streusel a breeze. It provides the flour base for that classic texture.

Milk: Adds moisture to the dough, helping to bind the ingredients together and create a soft, pliable pastry that's easy to press into your muffin cups.

Egg: Acts as a binder, holding all the pastry ingredients together. It also adds richness, helps with leavening, and contributes to a beautiful golden color and tender texture.

Other Ingredients You'll Need: Brown sugar, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and butter.

How to Make Peach Cinnamon Streusel Cups

These Peach Cinnamon Streusel Cups come together with a few simple steps. Follow the full recipe below for all the details.

1. Prep and Mix Filling

Generously spray your muffin cups. Use Soften cream cheese. Either soften by letting it sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes or briefly microwave on low (10-15 seconds) until it's finger-indent soft (not melted). Mix it with the other filling ingredients until smooth. 

2. Create Pastry 

Stir Pastry ingredients until a soft dough forms, be sure to use softened, not melted butter. Divide equally and press dough in the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup. 

2. Mix the Crumb Topping

Mix Bisquick, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold, cut-up butter until coarse crumbs form. 

3. Fill and Bake

Fill each cup with 2 teaspoons of the smooth cream cheese mixture. Next, add about 1 tablespoon of finely chopped peaches; make sure they are thoroughly drained to avoid a soggy pastry, and don't forget to set aside their juice for the icing! Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over the peaches. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

4. Drizzle and Enjoy

Let the streusel cups stand in the pan for 10 minutes to allow them to set properly before carefully removing them to a cooling rack. While they cool slightly, stir 1/2 cup powdered sugar with the reserved 1 tablespoon peach juice. Drizzle this over the warm streusel cups.
