How to Make Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1: Make the Peach Jam

In a saucepan, combine cubed peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 12–15 minutes while mashing occasionally until the mixture becomes juicy and thickened. Stir together cornstarch and water in a small bowl; then mix this into the jam and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Tangzhong

In a small saucepan, whisk together water and flour over medium heat. Cook while whisking constantly for about 4–5 minutes until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency. Transfer to another bowl and let it cool down.

Step 3: Make the Dough

In your stand mixer bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt. Add in whole milk, large egg, vanilla extract, and prepared tangzhong. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Gradually add softened butter one tablespoon at a time while mixing until fully incorporated. Knead on medium speed for about 10–11 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4: Make the Crumb Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter with all-purpose flour, sugars (granulated and light brown), and ground cinnamon until crumbly in texture. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.

Step 5: Roll and Fill

Roll out your dough into an 18×15-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the brown sugar filling evenly across it followed by an even layer of cooled peach jam. Lay thin peach slices on top of this filling. Cut the dough into 12 strips that are approximately 1½ inches wide. Roll each strip tightly into swirls and place them in a parchment-lined metal baking dish (9×13-inch). Cover again with plastic wrap and allow them to rise for another hour until they have doubled in size.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Once preheated sprinkle your crumb topping generously over each roll before placing them in the oven to bake for about 30–35 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Let them cool slightly after baking.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

In another bowl, mix together room-temperature cream cheese with softened butter using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to mix; then whisk in heavy cream until well combined. Drizzle this frosting generously over warm rolls before serving.

Now you’re ready to enjoy your delicious Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls, it’s easy to make mistakes that can affect the overall taste and texture. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid.

• 
  

  Not measuring flour properly: Using too much or too little flour can ruin the dough. Always use the spoon-and-level method or a kitchen scale for accuracy.

  
  
• 
  

  Using expired yeast: Fresh yeast is crucial for proper rise. Check the expiration date before you start making your rolls.

  
  
• 
  

  Cutting peaches too thick: Thick slices can make rolling difficult and affect the texture. Be sure to slice peaches very thinly for easy shaping.

  
  
• 
  

  Skipping the cooling time for peach jam: If you use hot jam, it can make the dough soggy. Allow your peach jam to cool completely before spreading it on the dough.

  
  
• 
  

  Overbaking the rolls: Baking them too long can lead to dry rolls. Keep an eye on them and bake until they are just golden brown.
