Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts
- 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches, drained
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Step 2: Layer the Doughnuts
Cut the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into quarters and place half of them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Prepare the Peach Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the drained peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the peaches are well coated with the sugar and spices.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Spread the peach mixture evenly over the layer of doughnuts in the baking dish. Place the remaining doughnut quarters on top of the peach mixture to cover it.
Step 5: Add the Butter
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the doughnuts and peaches.
Step 6: Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with heavy cream poured over the top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Cook Notes
- Peaches: You can use fresh or frozen peaches if preferred. If using fresh, peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches.
- Doughnut Choice: Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts work best, but you can use any glazed doughnuts for a similar result.
- Butter Coverage: Make sure the melted butter is evenly drizzled for an extra-rich topping.
Variations
1. Blueberry Krispy Kreme Cobbler
Replace the peaches with blueberries for a fun twist. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries—just be sure to drain any excess liquid if using frozen.
2. Spiced Rum Peach Cobbler
Add 1 tablespoon spiced rum to the peach mixture for a boozy kick that complements the warm spices.
3. Apple Krispy Kreme Cobbler
Substitute the peaches with apple slices for a fall-inspired version. Add an extra 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a richer spice profile.
Serving Suggestions
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Serve the cobbler warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Whipped Cream: Top with whipped cream for a lighter, creamy addition.
