### Ingredients:
#### For the Donuts:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
#### For the Peach Cobbler Filling:
– 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced (if using canned, drain and rinse them)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
#### For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
#### For the Topping:
– 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
– 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (for dusting)
### Directions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling:**
– In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
– Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to thicken and the peaches release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
#### 2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
– Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside in the fridge to chill while you prepare the donuts.
#### 3. **Prepare the Donut Batter:**
– In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
– Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter should be thick, but still slightly sticky.
#### 4. **Fry the Donuts:**
– Heat oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). You need enough oil to submerge the donuts.
– While the oil heats up, prepare a surface with paper towels to drain the fried donuts.
– Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry the donuts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each donut for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
#### 5. **Assemble the Donuts:**
– Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a knife or small spoon to carefully hollow out a portion of the center of each donut. This creates space for the creamy cheesecake filling.
– Fill each donut with the cheesecake filling, being generous with the amount to ensure each bite is creamy and rich.
– Spoon some of the peach cobbler filling on top of the cheesecake filling, letting the juices and peaches drip slightly down the sides of the donut.
#### 6. **Finishing Touches:**
– Brush the freshly filled donuts with a little melted butter for added richness and shine.
– Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon sugar over the top to add sweetness and a little crunch.
#### 7. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Serve these donuts warm, with the gooey cheesecake filling and sweet peach topping adding the perfect combination of flavors. They are perfect for a breakfast treat, afternoon snack, or as a show-stopping dessert for a family gathering or special event.
