Ingredients

1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 cups unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
21 ounces peach pie filling
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a large bowl, mix the vanilla cake mix, water, softened butter, and eggs until everything is well combined.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for about 19 minutes. Once done, let them cool on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. You can use a piping bag to make decorating easier.
Prepare the crumble by baking the all-purpose flour in the oven for about 5 minutes. After cooling, combine this flour with light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter. Mix until you get a crumbly texture.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe the frosting on top. Create a wall with the frosting, add pieces of peach filling, and sprinkle the crumble on top.
