Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Fry Up the Perfect Donuts

1. The Dough: In your mixer bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it foam for 5 minutes. Add the remaining sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, salt, and half the flour. Mix down, then work in the softened butter and remaining flour until a soft, smooth dough forms.
2. Rise: Knead for 8 minutes, then place in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
3. Shape: Roll the dough out to ½-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to stamp out your rounds. Place them on individual squares of parchment paper (this makes transferring them to the oil so much easier!) and let them puff up for 30 minutes.
4. Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until beautifully golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool completely.

2. Cook the Spiced Peaches

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
2. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the peaches soften and release their juices.
3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for one more minute until the liquid thickens into a glossy, jammy syrup. Remove from heat and cool completely.

3. Whip the Cheesecake Filling & Bake the Crunch

1. Cheesecake: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste until completely smooth. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whip until the mixture is thick, fluffy, and hold its shape. Transfer to a piping bag.
2. Streusel: Rub the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter together with your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs. Bake on a lined tray at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and crunchy. Let it cool.

4. Assemble the Masterpiece

1. The Slice: Using a sharp serrated knife, slice your cooled donuts completely in half horizontally, just like a bagel.
2. The Base Layer: Pipe a generous ring of vanilla cheesecake filling onto the bottom half of the donut.
3. The Peaches: Spoon a hefty layer of the cooled spiced peaches right into the center of the cheesecake ring.
4. The Top: Place the top half of the donut back on. Drizzle generously with the simple sugar glaze, and immediately press a handful of the baked crunchy cobbler streusel into the wet glaze so it sticks.

Pro-Tips for Success

Keep the Peaches Small: Make sure to dice your peaches quite small. If the chunks are too large, they will tumble out of the sides when you try to take that ultimate first bite.
Oil Temperature is King: Use a kitchen thermometer when frying. If the oil is too hot, the outside of your donut will burn before the inside cooks through. If it’s too cold, the dough will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
