Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Donut Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 oz cream cheese, softened

Glaze (Optional)

1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or water

Instructions

Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and chop fresh peaches, then cook gently with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over medium heat until they soften into a thick, jammy filling.
Mix the Donut Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a soft, fluffy dough forms.
Fill the Donut Pan: Lightly grease a donut pan. Spoon a small amount of dough into each mold, add a spoonful of peach filling in the center, then cover with more dough to create a peach and cheesecake swirl inside each donut.
Bake to Perfection: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing to maintain shape and tenderness.
Add the Glaze: Once cooled, dip the tops of the donuts in a powdered sugar glaze or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, glossy finish.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and filling richness.
Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts tender and light.
Grease the donut pan well to prevent sticking.
Start checking the donuts at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Serve donuts warm or chilled depending on preference.
