How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
Set aside while preparing the dough.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Scatter the prepared peaches evenly across the surface.
Beginning with the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
Slice into 12 equal rolls and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
Cover and allow the rolls to rise again for 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.
Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add a little milk if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Spread the frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Expert Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
