  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt

👩‍🍳 How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

1. Activate the Yeast

In a large bowl, mix warm milk and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough

Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix, then add the remaining flour as needed until a slightly tacky dough forms. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

3. Prepare the Peach Filling

Dice peaches into small pieces. If using canned, drain and pat dry. Mix with brown sugar and cinnamon until syrupy.

4. Roll and Fill

Punch down dough and roll into a 16×20 inch rectangle. Spread the peach mixture evenly, leaving a ½ inch border on one long side. Press gently to adhere.

5. Roll Up and Slice

Roll tightly into a log from the filled side. Pinch the seam. Slice into 12 rolls using dental floss for clean cuts.

6. Second Rise

Place rolls in a greased 9×13 baking dish with some space between them. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.

7. Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden and the center roll reaches 190°F. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.

8. Frost While Warm

Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread frosting on warm rolls so it melts into the crevices but still sits luxuriously on top.


💡 Tips for the Best Rolls

  • For super fluffy dough, let it rise in an oven with just the light on
  • Use dental floss to slice rolls cleanly without squishing
  • Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the peach filling if your fruit is extra juicy
  • Brush baked rolls with thinned peach preserves for a glossy finish
  • For deeper flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-peach filling

📦 Make Ahead & Freezing Tips

  • Overnight rolls: After slicing and arranging in the pan, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Let come to room temp (about 45 minutes) before baking.
  • Freezing baked rolls: Let cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months (without frosting). Reheat in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes, then frost.
  • Frosting tip: Make frosting fresh or freeze separately for easy reheating.

🔁 Seasonal Variations

  • 🍏 Fall: Use apples + extra cinnamon and nutmeg
  • 🍓 Summer: Try strawberries or blueberries with a tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 🍊 Winter: Cranberries + orange zest make a festive twist
  • 🍐 Spring: Swap peaches for pears with vanilla bean in the filling

🧰 Tools You’ll Need
