Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 large eggs

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Peach Topping:

2 large peaches, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon cinnamon

For Garnish:

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity halfway.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.

To make the cheesecake filling, whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Once donuts are cool, use a piping bag or spoon to fill the centers with the cheesecake mixture.

For the peach topping, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add peach slices, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 4–5 minutes until peaches are soft and syrupy.

Spoon the warm peach mixture over each donut.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Variations

Berry Twist: Replace peaches with strawberries, blueberries, or a mix for a berry cobbler version.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy warm, reheat them briefly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds. For the best texture, allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Note that the peach topping may continue to soften the donuts over time.

FAQs
Can I make these donuts ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake the donuts and prepare the fillings a day in advance. Assemble shortly before serving for the best texture.

Can I fry the donuts instead of baking?
This recipe is designed for baked donuts, but with dough adjustments, it could be adapted for frying.

What if I don’t have a donut pan?
You can use a muffin tin or shape the batter into rounds on a lined baking sheet.

Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, canned peaches (drained) can be used. Fresh peaches, however, provide the best flavor and texture.

How do I fill the donuts without a piping bag?
Use a small spoon or create a makeshift piping bag with a plastic sandwich bag by snipping off one corner.

Can I freeze the donuts?
Yes, the baked donuts can be frozen without the filling or topping. Thaw and assemble just before serving.

Is there a substitute for cream cheese in the filling?
Mascarpone can be used for a lighter, slightly sweeter alternative.

How do I keep the donuts from becoming soggy?
Add the peach topping just before serving to prevent the syrup from soaking into the donuts.

What type of flour works best?
Use all-purpose flour for the ideal texture and structure in the donut batter.

Can I add a glaze instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, a vanilla or lemon glaze adds an elegant finish and a touch of sweetness.
