Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (or homemade) – Provides the fluffy base and makes this recipe quick and convenient.
Fresh or canned peaches – Sweet, juicy fruit that gives the rolls their cobbler-inspired flavor.
Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and a caramel-like depth to the filling.
Granulated sugar – Enhances the peach filling and balances flavors.
Ground cinnamon – Warm spice that ties the cobbler and cinnamon roll flavors together.
Nutmeg (optional) – Adds subtle warmth and extra depth.
Butter – Melted and used to coat the filling for richness.
Cornstarch – Helps thicken the peach filling so it doesn’t make the rolls soggy.
Vanilla extract – Infuses the filling with sweet, aromatic flavor.
Powdered sugar – Base for the glaze.
Milk or cream – Thins the glaze to a smooth, pourable consistency.
Cream cheese (optional) – For a tangy, rich glaze that pairs beautifully with peaches.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), butter, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens into a syrupy filling. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Unroll the cinnamon roll dough into a rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough back up tightly and slice into even rolls. Arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk (and cream cheese if desired).
Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls before serving. Enjoy fresh out of the oven for the ultimate gooey, cobbler-inspired treat.
