Ingredients
Scale
- 2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 105°F / 40°C)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp salt
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
- Oil, for frying
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp water (for thickening)
- ½ cup brown sugar (for crumble)
- ½ cup flour (for crumble)
- ¼ cup cold butter, cubed (for crumble)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (for crumble)
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 Tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Simmer 5 minutes until juicy.
- Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and let cool.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
- Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Roll the risen dough to about ½-inch thick and cut into circles with a donut cutter.
- Place on parchment, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry donuts 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until pourable but thick.
- Spoon a layer of cream cheese glaze over each donut. Add a few spoonfuls of peach filling on top. Sprinkle generously with brown-sugar crumble.
- Let set for 10 minutes — or enjoy warm while the glaze melts over the peaches!
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Donuts can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
