Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Cinnamon roll dough (homemade or refrigerated) – The fluffy base that holds all the sweet, spiced filling.
Peaches (fresh or canned) – Juicy and sweet, they provide the cobbler-inspired flavor.
Brown sugar – Adds a deep caramel sweetness to the filling.
Granulated sugar – Enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches.
Ground cinnamon – Essential for the warm, spiced flavor.
Nutmeg (optional) – Adds extra depth and warmth to the peach mixture.
Butter – Creates richness and helps the filling caramelize.
Cornstarch – Thickens the peach filling so it stays inside the rolls.
Vanilla extract – Balances the sweetness with aromatic flavor.
Powdered sugar – Base for the glaze topping.
Milk or cream – Thins the glaze to the perfect consistency.
Cream cheese (optional) – For a tangy, creamy glaze.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), butter, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until 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 across the dough, leaving a border along the edges. Roll up the dough tightly and slice into even rolls. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar with milk (and cream cheese, if desired) to create the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
