Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cheesecake Batter

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar glaze (powdered sugar mixed with milk or water)
  • Cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon cinnamon mixed with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar)
  • Whipped cream
  • Streusel topping made from brown sugar and oats (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and dice the peaches. In a saucepan, cook peaches gently with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over medium heat until the peaches are soft and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Blend until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the cheesecake batter. Stir gently just until blended to avoid overmixing, which can cause dense donuts.
  5. Fill the Donut Pan: Grease a donut pan with butter or non-stick spray. Spoon batter into each donut cavity halfway, then add a spoonful of the peach filling on top. Cover with a little more batter or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top to create a cobbler effect.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the donuts cool slightly before removing them from the pan.
  7. Optional Glazing or Topping: Drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze or sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the cooled donuts. Alternatively, top with whipped cream or streusel for extra sweetness and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother batter and even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain soft, tender donuts.
  • Fresh, in-season peaches provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Grease the donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and maintain donut shape.
  • Allow the donuts to cool before glazing to avoid melting the glaze and ensure a polished finish.
