How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Save Pin

Start by making the dough—mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.

While the dough rises, prepare your peach filling by cooking the peaches with sugar, cornstarch, and spices until thickened. Make the crumble by mixing flour, sugar, and cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, water, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
2. Prepare the peach filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Let cool completely.
3. Make the crumble: Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until needed.
4. Roll and fill: Punch down the dough and roll into a 15×12-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Add peaches and roll: Spread half of the cooled peach filling over the cinnamon mixture. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
6. Arrange and top: Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon remaining peach filling over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with the crumble topping.
7. Second rise: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 28-32 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 190°F.
9. Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with cream cheese glaze or vanilla icing if desired.

Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls topped with sweet peach cobbler filling and buttery crumble. The perfect combination of two classic comfort foods!

Ingredients

• Dough

• 3½ cups all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast

• ½ tsp salt

• ¾ cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F

• ¼ cup water, warmed to 110°F

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• Cinnamon Filling

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup brown sugar, packed

• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

• Peach Topping:

• 3 cups fresh or frozen peaches, diced

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

• Crumble Topping

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

• 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and egg. Mix until dough forms, then knead by hand or with a dough hook for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• While dough rises, make the peach filling: Combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Make the crumble topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Once dough has risen, punch it down and roll out on a floured surface into a 15×12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Spread half of the cooled peach filling over the cinnamon layer. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces using a serrated knife or dental floss.
• Arrange rolls cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon remaining peach filling over tops of rolls, then sprinkle with crumble topping.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes until puffy. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake 28-32 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  Freezing: Freeze baked rolls for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and warm before serving.
  Make-Ahead: Prepare through step 7, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
  Peach Substitute: Use frozen peaches year-round, or swap for apples, berries, or pears.
  Glaze Option: Top with cream cheese glaze made from 4 oz cream cheese, 2 tbsp butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla.

Tips for Perfect Rolls

Save Pin

Temperature matters when working with yeast—make sure your liquids are warm but not hot (around 110°F). Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold won’t activate it properly.

Don’t skip the second rise after cutting the rolls. This ensures they bake up fluffy and soft rather than dense and heavy.

Use a serrated knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the rolls cleanly without squishing them. Simply slide the floss under the log, cross the ends over the top, and pull tight.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

Save Pin

These rolls are best enjoyed warm from the oven, but they store beautifully. Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for that fresh-baked taste. You can also freeze baked rolls for up to 3 months—thaw overnight and warm before serving.

For make-ahead convenience, prepare through step 6, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then bake as directed.

Variations to Try

Save Pin

Swap peaches for apples, berries, or pears depending on what’s in season. Blueberry cobbler cinnamon rolls or apple pie cinnamon rolls would be incredible variations.

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch. A cream cheese glaze instead of plain icing takes these over the top.

Make them mini by cutting 18-20 smaller rolls and reducing bake time to 20-25 minutes. Perfect for parties or portion control!
