"Lightly spiced batter with ripe juicy peaches. We leave the skins on the peach for this — it adds nice texture. If you don’t have it on hand, skip the almond extract. It adds a nice sweetness, but the muffins are excellent without it. Our recipe yields 8 muffins with large, domed tops. Standard muffin tins have 12 muffin cups, we ask that you add 2 tablespoons of water to the empty cups. The cups with water will heat up at the same rate as the cups with muffin batter, helping the muffins cook evenly...."
