Jan's Peachy Pecan Muffins

Jan, a new Siren of Sherwood, came to us from Peachbelt--the Brigadoon of Allegan County, which surfaces every 100 years, and she missed her return trip, but she did bring with her a delicious muffin recipe with peaches and pecans.

Ingredients:
1 and one half cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-quarter teaspoon salt
1-quarter cup milk
2 medium peaches, diced to one cup
1 half-cup sugar
1 and one half teaspoons cinnamon
Half cup butter (1 stick), melted
1 egg

Topping:
1 half cup pecans-chopped
1-quarter cup flour
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 half-cup brown sugar
1 and one half teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix the butter, milk and egg together and pour into the flour mixture. Fold in the peaches and stir gently. Spoon the mixture into a greased and floured muffin pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes (until lightly brown). Makes 12 muffins.
