If you’d like to try making a Peach Cobbler-inspired Krispy Kreme-style donut at home, here’s a simple recipe that mimics the flavors of the limited-time Peach Cobbler donut:
Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
- 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands or similar)
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Peach Cobbler Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons peach preserves or peach syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
- Pinch of salt
For the Peach Filling (Optional):
- 1/2 cup canned peach pie filling or diced fresh peaches
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Streusel Topping (Optional):
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Make the Streusel Topping (optional):
- In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed butter.
- Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set aside.
2. Prepare the Donuts:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut each biscuit into a donut shape using a round cutter or simply press your thumb through the center of each biscuit.
- Fry the dough in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
3. Peach Filling (Optional):
- If you want to add some peach filling to the donuts, heat canned peach pie filling or fresh diced peaches in a small saucepan over medium heat, adding a pinch of cinnamon and brown sugar. Stir until warmed and slightly thickened. Allow it to cool.
4. Prepare the Peach Cobbler Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, peach preserves, cinnamon, cream, and a pinch of salt. Add more milk or powdered sugar to adjust the glaze to your desired consistency.
5. Assemble the Donuts:
- Dip the fried donuts into the peach glaze while they’re still warm, ensuring they are generously coated.
- Optionally, top with the streusel topping by sprinkling it over the donut or gently pressing it into the glaze.
- If using the peach filling, carefully pipe or spoon some into the center of each donut.
6. Serve:
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your homemade Peach Cobbler-inspired donuts!
