Ingredients
2 bags (about 4 cups) frozen or fresh peach slices
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter (Land O’Lakes recommended)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
6-8 Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts, cut into pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening sauce)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Peaches
In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the peach slices, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let the peaches cook for 10 minutes until they soften and the sugar dissolves into a syrupy mixture.
Step 2: Thicken the Filling (Optional)
If you prefer a thicker peach filling, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water, then stir it into the peach mixture. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the warm peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Add the Doughnuts
Cut the Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on top of the peach mixture. Lightly press them down to soak up some of the peach syrup.
Step 5: Bake the Cobbler
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the doughnuts turn golden brown and caramelized on top.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience!
