Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 2 bags (about 24 oz) of frozen peach slices (or 5 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the Krispy Kreme Layer:
- 6-8 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts, torn into pieces
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the frozen peach slices (or fresh peaches if using) to the skillet. Stir occasionally to coat them with butter.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the peaches. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the peaches soften and the sugar melts into a caramelized syrup.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the peaches.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
Step 2: Layer the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Tear the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into bite-sized pieces and evenly spread them in the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the warm peach filling over the doughnut layer, making sure to distribute the syrup evenly.
Step 3: Make the Topping
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter over the peach and doughnut mixture, spreading it evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve the peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
This Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is the ultimate comfort dessert, blending the soft sweetness of glazed doughnuts with the rich, cinnamon-kissed warmth of peaches. The contrast between the caramelized doughnut pieces and the juicy fruit filling makes each bite absolutely heavenly.
