Instructions :
1. Make the Donut Batter :
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly fluffy.
- Spoon the donut batter into the donut pan, filling each well about 3/4 of the way.
2. Bake the Donuts :
- Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the donuts are golden brown.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling :
- While the donuts are cooling, make the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Gradually add the heavy cream and continue beating until the mixture becomes creamy and thick, resembling the texture of cheesecake filling.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off for easy filling.
4. Prepare the Peach Topping :
- In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir to coat the peaches evenly in the mixture.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes , until the peaches soften and release their juices, but still hold their shape. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. Make the Cobbler Topping :
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the oats (if using).
- Drizzle the milk over the mixture and gently stir until the topping becomes crumbly and slightly clumpy.
6. Assemble the Donuts :
- Once the donuts have cooled, use a knife or a small spoon to make a small hole in the center of each donut.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each donut.
- Top the filled donuts with the peach mixture, spooning a bit of the caramelized peach mixture onto each donut.
- Sprinkle the cobbler topping over the peaches, making sure to cover each donut generously with the crumbly topping.
