I first came up with this recipe on a warm Saturday morning when I had a basket of overripe peaches sitting on the counter. What started as a way to avoid wasting fruit quickly became one of my most cherished brunch recipes—and trust me, they disappear fast.

Whether you’re planning a weekend brunch, a cozy holiday breakfast, or just need something special to go with your coffee, these rolls are sure to become a new favorite. Let’s dive into why you’ll love them so much.

First of all, these rolls are shockingly easy to make, especially if you use store-bought dough or prep your own the night before. Don’t let the fancy flavor combination fool you—this recipe is absolutely doable even on a busy morning.

They’re also budget-friendly. A few fresh peaches, pantry staples like flour and sugar, and a bit of butter are all you really need. You can even use canned or frozen peaches if that’s what you have on hand.

Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this recipe is how it transforms simple ingredients into something spectacular. Let’s break down what makes each element shine.

The peaches are the star of the show, of course. In-season fresh peaches give you the best flavor and texture, but don’t stress if you’re using canned or frozen. Just be sure to drain them well and dice them into small, even pieces so they melt into the filling as they bake.

For the dough, you can use homemade cinnamon roll dough if you’re feeling ambitious, but I often go with store-bought pizza dough or refrigerated crescent roll dough when I’m short on time. The results are still fluffy, tender, and totally delicious.

The cinnamon-sugar filling is a simple mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. It soaks into the dough as it bakes and creates that signature gooey swirl we all love. For extra depth, I sometimes add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract.

The cobbler topping is what takes these rolls to the next level. Made with flour, sugar, and butter, it adds a crunchy, golden crust to the soft rolls underneath. It’s like having a crumb topping and glaze all in one bite.

You’ll also want a simple glaze to finish things off. Powdered sugar, a splash of milk or cream, and a touch of vanilla is all you need—but if you have cream cheese on hand, a cream cheese glaze makes this dish truly decadent.

No fancy equipment required for this one—just a rolling pin, a baking dish, and a little patience while everything bakes to golden perfection.

How To Make This Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Making these cinnamon rolls is easier than you might think, especially with a bit of prep. Here's how it all comes together.

Start by preparing your peach filling. Dice your peaches and toss them in a skillet with butter, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. Cook them down for about 5-7 minutes until they’re soft and syrupy. Let them cool while you prep the dough.

Next, roll out your dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter over the entire surface, then sprinkle generously with your cinnamon-sugar mixture. Spoon the cooled peaches evenly over the top, making sure not to overfill—you want to be able to roll it up without too much leakage.

Starting from the long end, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice it into 1½-inch rounds using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them so they have room to rise and expand.

Now it’s time for the cobbler topping. In a small bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this generously over the rolls before baking. It adds crunch and richness that makes these stand out from ordinary cinnamon rolls.

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling at the edges. Let them cool slightly before drizzling on your glaze.

The entire process, start to finish, takes about an hour—less if you use store-bought dough and make the peach filling in advance. What you’ll end up with is a tray of golden, gooey, peachy perfection that smells like heaven and tastes even better.

Storage Options

If you somehow manage to have leftovers (it’s rare!), these Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls store beautifully.

You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Just be sure they’re fully cooled before storing so they don’t get soggy from condensation.

For longer storage, pop them in the refrigerator—they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days. I like to wrap the baking dish tightly in foil or transfer individual rolls to airtight containers.

These also freeze well. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap, then foil, and place in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. To reheat, just thaw in the fridge overnight and warm in the oven or microwave.

When it comes to reheating, a quick zap in the microwave (about 20–30 seconds) will bring them back to life. If you want to keep the cobbler topping crisp, try reheating in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how customizable it is. Whether you’re working with dietary restrictions or just craving a twist, there’s room to play.

Don’t have fresh peaches? Canned or frozen peaches work beautifully. Just drain them well and reduce the sugar in the filling slightly since they tend to be sweeter than fresh.

Craving more crunch? Add some chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon-sugar filling or sprinkle them on top before baking. They pair perfectly with the juicy peaches.

Looking for a dairy-free option? Swap in vegan butter and plant-based milk for the filling and glaze. Use your favorite non-dairy dough or check the ingredients on store-bought options to ensure they’re vegan-friendly.

Not a fan of cinnamon? Try using cardamom or pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor profile that still complements the peaches beautifully.

You can also turn this recipe into a skillet-style dessert: just press the roll slices into a buttered cast iron pan and bake as usual. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a rustic dessert that’s pure bliss.

Whether you stick to the classic version or try one of the fun twists, these Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are a guaranteed win. They’re sweet, warm, buttery, and bursting with flavor—perfect for sharing (or not).
