Recipe Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. After that, combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
3. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into each donut mold, filling them about three-quarters of the way full. After, bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.
4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
5. Make the Peach Topping: Combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened and jammy (about 5 minutes). Let cool.
6. Create the Cobbler Crumble: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly.
7. Assemble the Donuts: Pipe cheesecake filling into the center of each donut (from the top or underside). Spoon the peach topping over each donut, then sprinkle generously with cobbler crumble.

Chef’s Tips and Variations

You can easily adapt these donuts to fit different tastes or dietary needs. Here are some smart swaps and suggestions:

• Seasonal Swaps: Substitute the peaches with nectarines, apricots, or berries depending on the time of year.
• Dairy-Free: Use plant-based cream cheese and non-dairy milk.
• Mini Donuts: Use a mini donut pan for bite-sized versions that are great for parties.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the donuts and toppings ahead of time by baking and making them in advance. Store separately and assemble the day of serving for best texture.
• Extra Glaze: Add a light drizzle of cream cheese glaze for even more richness.
