Required Kitchen Tools

9×13-inch Baking Dish: For baking the cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

You’ll need the following ingredients to make the soft and buttery cinnamon roll dough:

1 packet (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) quick-rise yeast: This will help the dough rise quickly and achieve a fluffy texture.
1/3 cup + 2 teaspoons sugar, divided: Sugar helps activate the yeast and provides sweetness to the dough.
1/4 cup warm water (110-115℉): This is the temperature that activates the yeast and helps it rise.
2/3 cup very warm milk: Milk adds richness and softness to the dough.
1/3 cup mashed potatoes: A unique but brilliant addition to cinnamon rolls! Mashed potatoes add moisture and softness to the dough.
1/4 cup butter: Adds a rich, buttery flavor and soft texture to the dough.
1 egg yolk: This will help the dough rise and add richness.
1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances out the sweetness of the dough.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A hint of vanilla gives the dough a lovely fragrance and flavor.
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour provides structure to the dough.

Peach Filling

The peach filling is the star of this recipe, so you’ll want to get the following ingredients for it:

3/4 cup sugar: Sweetens the peach filling.
6 tablespoons butter, melted: Helps create a smooth and rich filling.
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon flour: Adds a bit of thickening to the peach filling.
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon: Gives the filling that warm, cozy, spiced flavor.
2 cups diced peaches: Use fresh peaches or well-drained canned peaches. Make sure they’re patted dry so they don’t release too much liquid into the rolls.

Crumb Topping

The crumb topping adds that signature peach cobbler crunch. You’ll need:

1/3 cup butter, softened: Helps bind the ingredients into a crumble.
1/3 cup brown sugar: Adds sweetness and a bit of moisture to the topping.
2/3 cup flour: Gives structure to the crumb topping and helps it hold together.

Icing

A sweet icing ties everything together! For the icing, you’ll need:

1 cup powdered sugar: The base of the icing, which makes it sweet and thick.
2 tablespoons milk: Thins out the icing and gives it a smooth consistency.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds flavor and enhances the sweetness of the icing.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

The first step in making these Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls is activating the yeast. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, then stir to combine. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast is bubbly and foamy. This means your yeast is active and ready to use.

2. Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, and remaining sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, mashed potatoes, and melted butter until smooth. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the mixture.

Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the milk mixture, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir to combine until a dough begins to form. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook to knead the dough on medium speed for 8-10 minutes. If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.

3. Let the Dough Rise

Once the dough is ready, shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. You can also place it in an oven with the light on to create a warm, cozy environment for the dough to rise.

4. Prepare the Peach Filling

While the dough is rising, prepare the peach filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, flour, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture forms a thick paste. Add the diced peaches and gently fold them into the mixture, making sure they’re well coated. Set the peach filling aside.

5. Roll Out the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

6. Roll the Dough

Starting from one of the long edges of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough up into a log, keeping it tight but not too tight. Once rolled, pinch the edges to seal the seam. Cut the roll into 12 even pieces, and place the slices into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

7. Prepare the Crumb Topping

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and flour. Use a fork or your hands to mix the ingredients together until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

8. Let the Rolls Rise Again

Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

9. Bake the Rolls

Once the rolls have risen, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Keep an eye on the rolls to prevent overbaking. If they begin to brown too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking.

10. Prepare the Icing

While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. You want the icing to be thick but pourable. Set it aside.

11. Frost and Serve

Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls. You can also sprinkle some extra cinnamon or chopped peaches on top for added flavor and texture.

How to Serve Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

These Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are best served warm, straight out of the oven, with a generous drizzle of icing. They’re perfect for:

Breakfast or Brunch: Serve with fresh coffee or tea for the ultimate treat.
Dessert: They make a fantastic dessert for any occasion.
Bringing to a Gathering: They’re easy to transport, and everyone will love them!

Storing Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

If you have any leftover rolls (though I doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to 5 days. To reheat, simply microwave them for 20-30 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls FAQs

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, canned peaches work just as well. Just make sure to drain them thoroughly and pat them dry before using them in the filling.

Can I make these cinnamon rolls the night before?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls the night before, place them in the baking dish, and cover them tightly. Refrigerate overnight and bake them in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast.

Can I freeze these cinnamon rolls?

Absolutely! You can freeze the rolls before baking. Place the unbaked rolls in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as usual.
