How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 1 cup fresh or canned peach slices
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 12×16 inches). Spread softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, cinnamon, and diced peaches.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, cook peach slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter over medium heat until syrupy (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the peach topping over the risen rolls. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve and enjoy the peachy, gooey goodness!
How to Serve Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
Serve these delicious rolls warm, drizzled with the cream cheese glaze. They are perfect on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
How to Store Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in the freezer.
Tips to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
- Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, when adding it to the dough. This helps the yeast activate properly.
- If you want to add more fruit, feel free to include berries or other fruits along with the peaches for a fun twist!
- You can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise in the fridge, and bake it fresh in the morning.
Variation
You can try using other fruits like apples, cherries, or even a mix of your favorites in place of peaches for different flavors.
