Cup Finely−chopped fresh or frozen peaches  
−1/2 Cup Sugar  
/2 Cup Butter − (1 stick); at room temperature  
Eggs  
−1/2 Cup Milk  
Cup Flour  
Teaspoon Baking powder  
Teaspoon Salt  
/4 Cup Brown sugar  
/4 Cup Ground pecans  
/4 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon  
Tablespoon Cold butter  
/2 Fat; 1 Other Carbohydrates  
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly Grease 24 (2 3/4−inch by 1  
/8−inch) muffin cups. Place the peaches in a bowl and cover with 1/2 cup of  
3
the sugar. Mix thoroughly. Allow the peaches to sit for 1 hour. Using an  
electric mixer, fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and remaining 3/4 cup  
of sugar until smooth and pale in color, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one  
at a time, and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine  
3
1/2 cups of the flour, baking powdered, and salt. Remove the bowl from the  
mixer and alternately fold in the milk and flour mixture, being careful not  
to over mix. Fold in the peaches. Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling into each  
prepared muffin cup. In a small bowl, combine the remaining flour, brown  
sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add the butter. Using your hands, mix  
until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb−like mixture. Sprinkle 1  
tablespoon of the crumb mixture over each muffin cup. Place in the oven and  
bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with  
butter. This recipe yields 2 dozen muffins.
