Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler Doughnuts Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Doughnuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Peach Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches (diced)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Pinch of salt
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt.
- In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and add it to the peach mixture. Stir well.
- Cook the peach mixture for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Make the Doughnuts:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, forming a thick batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or a doughnut cutter, carefully drop doughnut batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
3. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed cold butter and, using a fork or pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
4. Glaze the Doughnuts:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a smooth glaze.
- Dip each cooled doughnut into the glaze and let the excess drip off.
5. Assemble the Peach Cobbler Doughnuts:
- Once the doughnuts are glazed, cut a small slit on top of each one to create a pocket for the peach filling.
- Spoon the cooled peach filling into the center of each doughnut.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filled doughnuts.
6. Serve:
- Allow the doughnuts to set for a few minutes, so the filling and topping stick together.
- Enjoy your homemade Krispy Kreme-style Peach Cobbler Doughnuts!
These doughnuts will have the soft, fluffy texture of Krispy Kreme doughnuts with the rich flavors of a peach cobbler—perfect for a sweet treat!
