Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then stir in honey and vanilla.
  4. Gradually alternate incorporating the flour mixture and whole milk until just combined; fold in diced peaches.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the batter, add cream cheese filling, then cover with more batter until two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden; cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Optionally top with fresh peach slices, drizzle honey, and sprinkle crushed graham crackers for garnish.
