Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a 6 cup jumbo (or 12 cup standard) muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or yogurt), applesauce, egg, and extracts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, (be careful not to overmix).
- Fold in the peaches and divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. (The dough will look somewhat cakey.) Sprinkle the tops lightly with the cinnamon-sugar (if using).
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean and the muffins are puffed and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven, let cool in the tin for five minutes, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (if using).

Notes
Peaches: Use ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture in your muffins. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use canned peaches (in their own juice) that have been drained well. Ensure to pat them dry with a paper towel before chopping and adding to the batter.
