How to Make Peach Upside Down Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted shortening.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar equally among 12 muffin tin cups.
  6. Place muffin tin in preheated oven and heat for 5-7 minutes, or until butter is melted and sugar is bubbly.
  7. Carefully remove the muffin tin from oven. Place one fresh or frozen cherry half in the center of each tin cup and arrange 2-3 peach slices around it.
  8. Spoon batter evenly over the cherries and peaches, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack or serving platter to cool completely.
