Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Dough:

1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup melted butter

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)

½ cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

¼ cup butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let the mixture sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix in the yeast mixture and knead the dough until smooth. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Make the Filling: While the dough is rising, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl, mixing well.

Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the peach filling evenly across the dough. Roll the dough up tightly into a log and cut it into 12 slices. Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Finish the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the cream cheese frosting over them while they are still warm. Serve and enjoy!

Variations

Juicy Peaches: If using very juicy peaches, toss them with a tablespoon of flour to help thicken the filling before spreading it onto the dough.

Add-ins: You can add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the filling for an added crunch.

Frosting Options: For a lighter version of the frosting, you could use whipped cream cheese or even just a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheating: To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches for the filling?

Yes, canned peaches work perfectly for this recipe! Just be sure to drain them well and chop them into smaller pieces. You may want to reduce the brown sugar slightly, as canned peaches are often sweeter than fresh.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough a day ahead. After kneading, cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight. The next morning, let it come to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.

Can I freeze these rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls. After cutting the dough into slices and placing them in the baking dish, cover and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as usual.

Can I make these without the frosting?

While the frosting adds a rich, creamy touch, you can skip it if you prefer. The rolls will still be delicious with the peach filling alone.

What can I use instead of active dry yeast?

You can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast in equal amounts. There’s no need to dissolve it in warm milk first—just mix it directly into the dry ingredients.

Conclusion

Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combination of sweet, fluffy, and decadent. With juicy peaches, a spiced filling, and a rich cream cheese frosting, these rolls elevate your typical cinnamon roll to something truly special. Whether for brunch, a holiday breakfast, or just because, these peach cobbler cinnamon rolls will surely be a hit with everyone who tries them!
