How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1: Make the Peach Jam

In a saucepan, combine cubed peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 12–15 minutes. Mash occasionally until juicy and thickened. Stir together cornstarch and water in a separate bowl; mix this into the jam and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Tangzhong

Whisk together water and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook while whisking constantly for about 4–5 minutes until thickened to a paste-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl to cool.

Step 3: Make the Dough

In your stand mixer, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt. Add whole milk, egg, vanilla extract, and tangzhong mixture. Mix on low speed until you form a shaggy dough. Gradually add softened butter one tablespoon at a time while mixing until fully incorporated. Knead on medium speed for about 10–11 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4: Make the Crumb Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter with all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until crumbly. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 5: Roll and Fill

Roll out the dough into an 18×15-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread an even layer of brown sugar filling across the surface followed by cooled peach jam. Layer very thin slices of peaches over everything. Cut into 12 strips (each approximately 1½ inches wide) and roll each strip into swirls. Place them into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch metal baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap again; let them rise for another hour until doubled.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Sprinkle crumb topping generously over rolls before placing them in the oven. Bake for about 30–35 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat together room temperature cream cheese with softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing continuously; then whisk in heavy cream until well combined. Drizzle frosting over warm rolls before serving.

How to Perfect Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Making these rolls perfect requires attention to detail and a few handy tips. Follow these suggestions to ensure your Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are always a hit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls can be a delightful experience, but there are some common pitfalls to watch out for.

• Using unripe peaches: Always choose fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. Unripe peaches can result in a less sweet filling.
• Not measuring flour accurately: Improper measurement can lead to a dough that is too sticky or too dry. Use the spoon-and-level method or a kitchen scale for accuracy.
• Skipping the Tangzhong: The Tangzhong helps create a soft and fluffy dough. Don’t skip this step if you want the best texture in your rolls.
• Overbaking or underbaking: Keep an eye on your rolls while baking. They should be golden brown, so set a timer and check them towards the end of the baking time.
• Cooling frosting too long: If you let your frosting sit too long before applying it, it may harden. Drizzle it on while the rolls are still warm for a perfect finish.

Refrigerator Storage

• Store Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container.
• They will last in the refrigerator for about 3–5 days.

Freezing Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

• Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
• These can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Reheating Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

• Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and cover with foil. Warm for 10-15 minutes.
• Microwave: Heat individual rolls on medium power for 15-20 seconds until warm.
