Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Toss the peaches until they are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
- Layer the Doughnuts: Spread the cut pieces of Krispy Kreme doughnuts evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. The doughnuts will form the base of your cobbler.
- Add the Peach Filling: Pour the peach mixture over the doughnuts, spreading it out evenly so that the peaches are distributed across the dish.
- Top with Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the peaches and doughnuts. This will help create a rich, golden topping as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and bubbly, and the doughnuts have absorbed the juices and become golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Tips and Variations
- Doughnut Choices: While Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts are the star of this recipe, you can also experiment with other flavors like cinnamon sugar or chocolate-glazed doughnuts for a different twist.
- Peach Alternatives: If peaches aren’t in season, you can use canned or frozen peaches. Just be sure to drain canned peaches well or thaw and drain frozen peaches to avoid excess liquid in your cobbler.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom for an extra layer of flavor in the peach filling.
- Make It Boozy: For an adult version, try adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the peach mixture before baking. The alcohol will cook off, leaving behind a rich, warm flavor.
How to Store and Reheat
Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a portion in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or warm it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
