Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Okay, let me just say—these Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls might just rock your Saturday mornings in the best way possible. Imagine biting into a fluffy, warm cinnamon roll that’s bursting with juicy, sweet peaches and a hint of buttery spice that reminds you of homemade peach cobbler straight from grandma’s oven. Honestly, I was skeptical at first whether cinnamon rolls and peach cobbler could be best friends inside one dessert, but spoiler: they are. The dough pulls apart soft and pillowy, while that peach filling bubbles just enough to create a sticky, irresistible swirl. Trust me, once you try these, your regular cinnamon roll routine will never be the same!

Quick Facts

Yield: Serves 8
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (including rising)

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
½ cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or thawed frozen peaches, drained)
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp lemon juice

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
2–3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

How I Make It

Step 1:

First, activate the yeast by stirring it into the warm milk along with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes until it’s frothy and bubbly—that’s your first sign the magic is happening. Meanwhile, warm your butter and mix it with sugar, eggs, and salt.

Step 2:

Combine 3 cups of flour and cinnamon in a big bowl, then pour in the yeast mixture and your wet ingredients. Stir until the dough starts coming together, then slowly add the remaining flour until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough. Don’t overdo the flour—this dough should be tender and springy.

Step 3:

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4:

While the dough is rising, toss your diced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. This mix keeps the peaches juicy but prevents them from making the dough soggy.

Step 5:

Roll the dough into a 15×10-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with the peach-cinnamon mixture. Roll it tightly from the long side and cut into 8 equal rolls.

Step 6:

Arrange the rolls in a greased 9-inch round or square pan, cover again, and let rise for 30 minutes more. Bake at 375°F for 22–25 minutes, until golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. While they cool, whip up the glaze by mixing all glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle it over the warm rolls.

Variations & Tips

Use fresh peaches when in season for the best natural sweetness.
If you want extra gooey rolls, add a little cream cheese in the filling along with the peaches.
Frozen peaches work fine; just thaw and drain excess liquid well before mixing.
For a crunch factor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the peach layer before rolling.
If the dough feels too sticky while rolling, chill it for 10 minutes to firm up a bit.

How I Like to Serve It

I love serving these rolls for weekend brunch, paired with a hot cup of coffee or iced tea. They’re perfect for summer mornings when peaches are at their peak, but honestly, they bring that warm, comforting feeling any time of year. Try them at your next family gathering or holiday breakfast for a sweet surprise that everyone will ask about again.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days; reheat gently in the microwave to bring back softness.
You can make the dough the night before; just refrigerate it after kneading and roll out in the morning for a quicker bake.

Closing: These Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are a deliciously unique twist on two classic treats, and they always brighten up any day with their sweet, tender goodness.
