Ingredients:
For the Dough:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
For the Peach Cobbler Filling:
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
For the Vanilla Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
Start by dissolving the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Make the Peach Filling:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the peaches are soft and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool while you prepare the dough.
Shape the Cinnamon Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the peach filling evenly across the dough, then tightly roll it into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Make the Vanilla Glaze:
While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Serving Tips:
Best served warm: Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are at their best when served warm, with the soft rolls fresh out of the oven and the vanilla glaze lightly drizzled over the top. The warmth brings out the flavors of the peaches and cinnamon, making each bite irresistible.
Garnish: For added texture and flavor, garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, or even a handful of chopped pecans.
Perfect for brunch or dessert: These rolls make a delightful addition to any breakfast or brunch spread but are equally satisfying as a dessert. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk for a complete treat.
Storage Tips:
At room temperature: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.
Reheating instructions: To reheat the rolls, place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to bring back their soft, warm texture. If you want a crispier exterior, warm them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.
Freezing Tips:
Freeze for later: You can freeze these cinnamon rolls for up to 3 months. Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. This method prevents freezer burn and makes it easy to grab a single roll at a time.
Thawing and reheating: When ready to enjoy, thaw the rolls in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat them in the microwave or oven as mentioned above. You can also add a fresh drizzle of glaze after reheating to enhance their sweetness.

FAQs:
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh peaches?
Yes, you can substitute fresh peaches with canned or frozen peaches if fresh ones aren’t available. For canned peaches, make sure to drain them thoroughly and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture in the filling. If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely before adding them to the filling mixture.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough the night before and allow it to rise in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, bring the dough to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then roll it out, add the filling, and continue with the recipe. This is a great way to save time if you want to serve the rolls fresh in the morning.
How can I make these rolls gluten-free?
To make these cinnamon rolls gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that is specifically designed for baking. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum, as this will help the dough hold its shape and texture.
Can I make a cream cheese glaze instead of vanilla glaze?
Yes, if you prefer a richer glaze, you can easily swap out the vanilla glaze for a cream cheese glaze. Mix together 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 2-3 tbsp milk until smooth. Drizzle this over the warm rolls for a creamy, tangy topping!
Conclusion:
With this Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls recipe, you’ll get the best of both worlds: the cozy, spiced goodness of cinnamon rolls and the fresh, summery sweetness of peach cobbler. It’s a dessert mash-up that’s bound to become a favorite at your table!
