Peach Cobbler Donuts with Brown Sugar Peach Filling

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for optional peach glaze)
• 2 tablespoons milk (for optional peach glaze)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
6. Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each donut cavity about halfway. Add a small spoonful of the peach filling in the center of each donut, then top off with more batter.
7. Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
9. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon and roll each cooled donut in this mixture.
10. If desired, mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle it over the donuts.
