Ingredient Notes

All-purpose flour: The base of our soft dough. You can swap half with bread flour for chewier rolls.
Instant yeast: No need to proof it separately—saves time.
Whole milk: Warmed to activate the yeast. Substitute with almond milk for dairy-free.
Butter: Both melted and softened butter are used. Don’t skip it—it adds richness.
Eggs: Add structure and a tender crumb.
Peaches: Fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned (drained). All work well here.
Brown sugar & granulated sugar: For the filling and peach mixture.
Ground cinnamon & nutmeg: The warm spice combo that defines a cinnamon roll.
Cornstarch: Thickens the peach filling slightly.
Vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavor.
Powdered sugar & milk (for glaze): Mix for a silky-smooth drizzle.

Optional: A pinch of cardamom or lemon zest for a fresh, elevated flavor.

How To Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Make the dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk (110°F), instant yeast, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
Prepare the filling: In a saucepan, cook chopped peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch over medium heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Cool completely.
Roll and fill: On a floured surface, roll dough into a 16×12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter, then the peach mixture evenly. Roll tightly from the long edge and slice into 12 rolls.
Second rise: Place rolls in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cover and let rise 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden on top and cooked through.
Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Tip: If the tops are browning too fast, loosely cover with foil during baking.

Storage Options

Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigerator: Keeps well for 4-5 days. Reheat in microwave for 15-20 seconds.
Freezer: Freeze baked (unglazed) rolls for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and warm in oven.
Reheating tip: Add a damp paper towel on top when microwaving to keep them moist.

Variations and Substitutions

Add cream cheese frosting instead of glaze for a richer topping.
Swap peaches for apples or cherries.
Use a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
Make a mini roll version in a muffin tin for easy servings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches? Yes! Just make sure they’re well-drained. Patting them dry helps reduce extra moisture.

Can I make the dough ahead of time? Absolutely. Prepare the dough, let it rise, assemble the rolls, and refrigerate overnight. Let them come to room temp before baking.

My rolls didn’t rise—what happened? Your yeast might be old or your milk was too hot and killed it. Always check your yeast’s expiration date.

Can I skip the glaze? Yes, but it adds a lovely sweet finish. Try dusting with powdered sugar instead.

How do I know when the rolls are done? They should be golden on top and 190°F internally. You can also gently press the center—if it springs back, they’re ready.

If you’re looking for the ultimate mashup of cozy and fruity, Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are your answer. They’re fluffy, flavorful, and full of that nostalgic peachy goodness. Perfect for lazy weekends, summer gatherings, or whenever you’re craving a sweet start to the day.
