Instructions

Let’s roll up our sleeves—literally—and make these beauties.

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes. Add eggs, melted butter, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Peach Cobbler Filling

While the dough is rising, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread softened butter all over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly on top.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread a thin layer of the cooled peach mixture over the cinnamon sugar. Carefully roll up the dough (like a jelly roll), slice into even rolls, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for 30 minutes while you preheat your oven.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the centers are cooked through. Tent with foil halfway through if they’re browning too quickly.

Step 6: Add the Topping

As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, spoon the remaining peach cobbler mixture over the top of the warm rolls. Let it soak in and become all melty and magical.

Step 7: Glaze

Whisk together powdered sugar, cream or milk, and vanilla (add cream cheese if using). Drizzle generously over the rolls while they’re still warm.

How to Serve Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

These rolls shine at breakfast, brunch, or as a show-stopping dessert. Here’s how to level up the experience:

Serve Warm: Always best fresh from the oven or gently reheated. The glaze melts into every swirl.

Pair with Coffee or Tea: A hot drink cuts through the sweetness and makes for a cozy moment.

Add Ice Cream: Yep, for dessert—serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a peaches-and-cream dream.

Brunch Board Style: Serve with fresh fruit, bacon, and a few mimosas for a full-blown brunch spread.

Additional Tips

Overnight Option: After assembling the rolls, cover and refrigerate overnight. Let come to room temp and rise before baking in the morning.

Fruit Swap: No peaches? Try apples, cherries, or even blueberries for a twist.

Extra Gooey? Spoon a little of the peach syrup into the bottom of the pan before baking for a stickier, cobbler-style bottom.

Dough Troubleshooting: If your dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it’s workable. If it’s too dry, a splash of warm milk will help.

FAQ Section

Q1: Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
A1: Absolutely! Just drain canned peaches well, and thaw frozen peaches before using.

Q2: Can I make these rolls gluten-free?
A2: Yes—use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour and check that your yeast and other ingredients are GF-friendly.

Q3: Can I prep them in advance?
A3: Totally. Assemble the rolls, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning for best results.

Q4: Do I have to use cream cheese in the glaze?
A4: Nope! You can go with a classic vanilla glaze or skip the glaze altogether—they’re sweet enough with the peach topping.

Q5: How do I store leftovers?
A5: Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4. Reheat gently before serving.

Q6: Can I freeze the unbaked rolls?
A6: Yes! Freeze after slicing and before the second rise. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge and let rise before baking.

Q7: What if I don’t have a stand mixer?

Q8: Can I double the peach topping?
