Instructions

Prepare the Cupcakes

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
5. Mix in the sour cream until well combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
8. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each cupcake batter-filled liner.

Bake the Cupcakes

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake part (not the cream cheese filling) comes out clean.
2. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Honey Peach Topping

1. In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, honey, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and the peaches are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Allow the topping to cool slightly before spooning it over the cooled cupcakes.

Assembly

1. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spoon a generous amount of the honey peach topping onto each cupcake.
2. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
