These Peach Cobbler Stuffed Beignets are a unique and delicious twist on the classic beignet. With warm, gooey peach filling and crispy fried dough, they're a dessert that's impossible to resist.

Instructions

1
Add the butter and peaches to a pan over medium-low heat and cook until the butter has melted and peaches are glossy.
2
In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon flour, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the peaches. Mix to combine and stir for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Cut the dough into 20 rectangles.
4
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the peach filling onto a cut piece of dough. Fold the dough over lengthwise and crimp the edges so the filling is well sealed. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
5
Heat oil in a large pot to 350°F (180°C).
6
Working in batches, fry beignets for 3-4 minutes each, flipping halfway, until puffy and golden brown.
7
Transfer beignets to a paper towel-lined plate or wired rack to drain.
8
Dust with powdered sugar.
