Easy Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
These peach cobbler cinnamon rolls bring together the flavors of a favorite dessert with classic breakfast rolls. It’s a simple way to enjoy warm, fruity sweetness any time you want a special treat.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Peach Rolls
- Canned Peaches: Using canned peaches saves a lot of prep time and they are already sweet and soft, perfect for this quick recipe.
- Refrigerated Dough: Starting with store-bought cinnamon roll dough makes this recipe very simple. You just unroll, fill, and bake.
- Brown Sugar & Cinnamon: These add a deep, warm flavor to the peaches, making it taste more like a cobbler filling.
What You Need for Peach Rolls
- 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
- 1 cup canned peaches, drained and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 8 rolls
How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Prep Your Peaches
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drain and dice the canned peaches. In a small bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until they are well combined.
Step 2: Unroll & Fill the Dough
Carefully unroll the cinnamon roll dough on a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper. Spread the peach mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border at one end.
Step 3: Roll & Slice
Starting from the longer side, carefully re-roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 8 equal rolls.
Step 4: Bake until Golden
Place the rolls in a greased 8×8 inch baking dish. If you like, brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Glaze & Serve Warm
Let the rolls cool in the pan for a few minutes. While still warm, drizzle them with the included icing from the cinnamon roll package. Serve them right away for the best taste.
📝 Final Note
These rolls are best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day.
