Ingredients in Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s a rundown of the ingredients you’ll need to make these heavenly rolls:

For the Dough:

• All-purpose flour
• Active dry yeast
• Milk
• Butter
• Sugar
• Egg
• Salt

For the Peach Filling:

• Fresh or canned peaches (chopped)
• Brown sugar
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Cornstarch (to thicken)
• Lemon juice (optional, but adds brightness)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

• Cinnamon
• Sugar
• Butter (softened)

For the Glaze:

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add the butter, egg, and salt to the mixture, then stir in the flour a little at a time until the dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Make the Peach Filling

While the dough is rising, prepare the peach filling. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in a little lemon juice if desired. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the cinnamon filling.

Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.

Assemble the Rolls

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter. Next, spoon the peach filling evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the roll into about 12 even pieces.

Bake the Rolls

Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one. Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Glaze the Rolls

While the rolls are baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the rolls warm for the best experience—trust me, they’re even better fresh out of the oven. The combination of soft dough, sweet peach filling, cinnamon sugar, and creamy glaze will make each bite a heavenly experience.
