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.
These Peach Cinnamon Streusel Cups come together with a few simple steps. Follow the full recipe below for all the details.
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.
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.
Mix Bisquick, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold, cut-up butter until coarse crumbs form.
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.
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.
Peach Cinnamon Streusel Cups are best served warm, but leftovers can easily be saved for later.
Refrigerator
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer
Wrap the cups tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Warm individual cups in the microwave on high for 15 to 30 seconds or until heated through.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar until smooth; set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir Pastry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough evenly among muffin cups (about 1 generous tablespoon). Spread dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, making a well in the center.
In another small bowl, using a fork or pastry blender, mix Crumb Topping ingredients until mixture looks like coarse crumbs; set aside.
In each muffin cup, spoon 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture and scant 1 tablespoon of the peaches.
Sprinkle Crumb Topping evenly over the peaches in each cup.
Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from the pan to a cooling rack.
In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup powdered sugar and reserved peach juice until smooth and drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm streusel cups. Serve warm.
Try canned apricots or pears in place of the peaches.
