Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Brioche Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water with sugar and active dry yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes. In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt, then incorporate the yeast mixture and eggs. Gradually add softened butter and mix until smooth and elastic.
- Knead and Let the Dough Rise: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Shape it into a ball, oil lightly, and place in a bowl covered with a damp cloth. Let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the Peach Filling: In a saucepan, melt butter and add diced peaches. Cook with peach nectar for 5-7 minutes. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt; add to peaches, stir, and boil until thickened. Cool the mixture and refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the Crisp Topping: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix brown sugar, oats, flour, and spices in a bowl. Stir in melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
- Shape and Fry the Doughnuts: Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out circles. Let them rise for another 30 minutes. Heat oil to 340-350°F. Fry doughnuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Fill and Top the Doughnuts: Once cooled, fill each doughnut with peach filling using a pastry bag. Mix icing sugar with peach nectar and butter. Drizzle over filled doughnuts and top with crisp topping. Serve warm.

Notes
Fried doughnuts are best enjoyed warm and can be customized with various fillings and toppings. Ensure yeast is activated properly for fluffy texture.
