Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are charmingly simple but absolutely essential to craft the true soul of the Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe. Each one plays a vital role, from bringing sweetness and spice to creating that luscious glaze.
- 2 cups fresh peaches (sliced): Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and a lovely natural sweetness that brightens the rolls.
- 1 package (16 oz) cinnamon roll dough: The foundation of this recipe; store-bought or homemade dough works perfectly, providing soft and fluffy texture.
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar: Adds deep, molasses-rich sweetness that pairs beautifully with the peaches and cinnamon.
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened): Creates buttery richness that helps the cinnamon sugar and peaches meld into the dough.
- 1/4 cup heavy cream: Pours over the rolls before baking to keep them moist and add a silky touch.
- 1 cup powdered sugar: The base of the glaze that adds that perfect sugary finish.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Infuses the glaze with warmth and depth to complement the peachy, cinnamon flavors.
How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dough
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Whether you’re working with packaged cinnamon roll dough or crafting your own, make sure it’s ready according to the instructions. This step sets the stage for rolling out the magic.
Step 2: Sweeten the Peaches
In a mixing bowl, combine your fresh sliced peaches with the light brown sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows the sugar to draw out the peaches’ natural juices, creating a juicy, sweet filling perfect for your rolls.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Roll out the cinnamon dough on a well-floured surface, spreading the softened butter evenly across the dough. Next, sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the butter, followed by layering the sweetened peach slices. This layering ensures every bite bursts with peachy sweetness.
Step 4: Shape the Rolls
Carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into evenly sized slices about 1 to 2 inches thick. These will become your individual peach cobbler rolls, each filled with beautiful spiraling fruit and cinnamon.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
Place your rolls snugly in a greased baking dish. Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the top of the rolls to keep them moist and add richness as they bake, guaranteeing a soft and tender crumb.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake in your preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the rolls turn a gorgeous golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling gently. Your kitchen will start smelling like heaven!
Step 7: Make the Glaze
While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth. This glaze is creamy, sweet, and a lovely finishing touch for your peach cinnamon rolls.
Step 8: Glaze and Serve
Once the rolls come out warm from the oven, generously drizzle the glaze over each one. The glaze melts slightly over the hot rolls, creating irresistible sticky sweetness that takes these treats over the top.
How to Serve Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Garnishes
Add an extra touch of flair by topping your rolls with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon after glazing. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream also complements the warm, fruity flavors perfectly.
Side Dishes
These rolls shine on their own, but pairing them with a simple cup of freshly brewed coffee or a light fruit salad can balance out the sweetness and round out your breakfast or brunch experience beautifully.
Creative Ways to Present
For a special occasion, consider serving these rolls in individual mini cast-iron skillets for a rustic touch or presenting them on a tiered dessert stand to wow guests. You can also drizzle caramel sauce over the glaze for an extra indulgent twist.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have leftovers (though that’s rare), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to keep them soft and fresh. Refrigeration can dry them out, so it’s best to avoid that if you plan to eat them quickly.
Freezing
You can freeze individual rolls before baking by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake according to the recipe, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Reheating
To bring back the fresh-baked feel, reheat your rolls in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes. A quick zap in the microwave for 20 seconds works in a pinch, but the oven keeps the rolls tender and gooey as originally intended.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
While fresh peaches give the best texture and flavor, canned peaches can be used in a pinch. Just be sure to drain them well and reduce any added syrup to avoid excess moisture that might make the rolls soggy.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Swap the cinnamon roll dough for a vegan option, use vegan butter, and replace heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk. Opt for powdered sugar without bone char to keep the glaze vegan-friendly.
Can I add nuts or other fruits to this recipe?
Absolutely! Chopped pecans or walnuts add a delightful crunch, and mixing in berries like blueberries or raspberries can introduce a new layer of flavor that pairs beautifully with the peaches.
How sweet are these rolls? Can I adjust the sugar?
This recipe strikes a lovely balance of sweetness that’s not overpowering thanks to the natural tartness of peaches. If you prefer less sweet, simply reduce the brown sugar slightly or cut back on the glaze.
What’s the best way to prevent the rolls from sticking to the pan?
Greasing the baking dish generously with butter or non-stick spray helps keep the rolls from sticking. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a bowl, mix sliced peaches with 1/2 cup brown sugar and let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate and release their juices.

Notes
- Use fresh ripe peaches for the best flavor; canned peaches can be used as a substitute but drain them well.
- Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more or less milk to your desired consistency.
- Make sure to let the peach mixture sit so the sugar draws out the natural juices and intensifies the flavor.
- You can substitute light brown sugar with dark brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh but can be reheated gently before serving.
