Ingredients needed:
This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this Peach Cinnamon Roll Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.
- instant yeast – you can substitute active dry, if you add 2 TBS of the sugar to the warm milk when you add the yeast. It will take slightly longer for your rolls to rise with active dry yeast.

- unsalted butter – the fat in the butter keeps the dough nice and soft
- eggs – these will make your rolls soft, and rich
- granulated sugar – this sweetens the dough
- all purpose flour – this is the substance of the rolls
- salt – this balances the flavor
- brown sugar – this adds a nice sweetness to the filling
- ground cinnamon – this adds a nice warm flavor to the peach filling
- fresh peaches – choose ripe and juicy peaches
- powdered sugar – this sweetens the frosting, do not substitute for another type of sugar

How to make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls?
- Activate the Yeast. Add the warm milk and yeast to a large bowl (I like to use the bowl of a stand mixer), and gently stir them together, let the yeast foam for a few minutes. Add the butter, eggs, and sugar to the bowl and stir them together.
- Make the dough. Add in 4 cups of the flour, and the salt and mix it into the wet mixture. Mix together until you have a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead the dough with your hands or a dough hook attachment until you have a soft, elastic dough. Add additional flour, 1 TBS at a time as needed it the dough is too sticky.
- Let the dough Rise. Remove the dough ball from the bowl and wipe the edges of the bowl with oil. Add the dough back to the bowl and cover loosely with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size.
- Roll dough into a rectangle. Sprinkle a working surface liberally with flour. Add the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the filling. Add the melted butter all across the dough. Then sprinkle the top of that with the brown sugar and cinnamon filling mixture. Sprinkle the small pieces of peaches over the top of the cinnamon mixture.
- Roll. Carefully roll the dough from the long top edge to the bottom edge into a big roll.
- Cut the roll into 12 equal slices, about 1 1/2 inches in size. Place them into a prepared baking dish. Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls sit for 20 minutes to raise slightly.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown on top and the center of the rolls are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Add the frosting. Add the butter, and cream cheese to a large bowl and combine with a stand mixer, or hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt and stir them together until combined and fluffy. Spread the creamy cheese icing generously over the rolls and enjoy.

Tips and Tricks:
- Warm milk – Warm your milk to activate the yeast. You want it warm enough, but not too hot that it will kill the yeast. You should be able to touch it. You can check the temperature to be 115 F.
- Room Temperature Ingredients – Use room temperature eggs, butter, cream cheese, etc to help your ingredients combine nicely.
- Add heavy cream – Warm up 1/2 cup of heavy cream in the microwave and pour it over the top of the cinnamon rolls before baking. This will make the rolls extra soft and gooey.
Storage Instructions:
Store the frosted cinnamon rolls by covering them with plastic wrap or a lid, for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. You can warm the cinnamon rolls up by heating a roll on a plate in the microwave for about 15 to 30 seconds.
You can also reheat the pan of peach rolls by covering them in foil, and heating them in an oven preheated to 300 F for about 10 minutes, or until they are warm again. If heated longer, the frosting may melt off the top and sides of the rolls.
Overnight Instructions:
To prepare these rolls the night before, you can slice and add the rolls to a prepared baking pan. Cover the rolls tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for 8 to 12 hours. Remove the rolls from the fridge and let them warm up and rise at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, then bake as directed.
