Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

ByHarper Ellington January 19, 2026January 19, 2026

Introduction

Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls combine the warm, gooey sweetness of cinnamon rolls with the fruity comfort of southern peach cobbler. Filled with cinnamon-spiced peaches and topped with cream cheese glaze, these rolls make a perfect treat for brunch or a special morning indulgence.

The image shows close-up peach cinnamon rolls on a white plate with a white marbled background. Each roll has three to four visible layers: the outer layer is golden brown and flaky, the middle layer shows crushed cinnamon sugar crumb topping, and thin slices of bright orange peach are tucked inside the swirls. Creamy light beige icing is drizzled unevenly over the rolls, creating a shiny, smooth texture that contrasts with the crumbly sugar. Powdered sugar is lightly sprinkled on top and around the rolls on the plate. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling

2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Frosting

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
Step 3: Knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 4: Mix diced peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon to make the filling.
Step 5: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough.
Step 6: Roll the dough up tightly and cut into 12 equal slices. Place the slices in a greased baking dish.
Step 7: Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes, covered, in a warm spot.
Step 8: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 9: While baking, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the frosting.
Step 10: Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh peaches in season for the best texture, or substitute canned or frozen when needed.
Roll the dough tightly and evenly to get uniform rolls with even filling layers.
Proof the dough in a warm, draft-free environment to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Try swapping peaches with apples, pears, or mixed berries for a different fruit flavor.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for extra crunch.
Make the frosting vegan by using plant-based cream cheese and milk alternatives.
Experiment with spices like cardamom or nutmeg in the filling for a deeper flavor.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual rolls for up to one month; thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Warm the rolls in the microwave or oven just until heated through and the frosting softens.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of several golden brown cinnamon rolls arranged tightly together, each with multiple soft dough layers swirling inward. Inside the spirals, there are small bright orange peach slices contrasting with the warm beige tones. The rolls have crumbly cinnamon streusel sprinkled over the top, giving a rough texture, and are drizzled unevenly with smooth, white icing that glistens under the light. Tiny specks of powdered sugar dust the surface, adding a light contrast on the rolls and the white marbled textured background below. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the point of baking and keep them refrigerated overnight. Let them come to room temperature before baking to ensure proper rising and even baking.

How do I keep the filling from leaking?

Seal the edges of the dough tightly after rolling to prevent the peach filling from leaking out during baking.

What if my dough doesn’t rise?

Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. Also, keep the dough in a warm, draft-free spot to encourage proper rising.
