Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls (Print)

Soft rolls swirled with peaches, cinnamon, and topped with cream cheese glaze.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)

→ Peach Pie Filling

08 - 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced (drained if canned)
09 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
12 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

14 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
15 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
16 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

17 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
18 - 1 cup powdered sugar
19 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
20 - 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

# Directions:

01 - Mix warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir to combine. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1–1.5 hours).
02 - Combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook gently while stirring until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
03 - Punch down the dough and roll it into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.
04 - Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix brown sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter. Spoon the cooled peach filling evenly over the cinnamon sugar layer.
05 - Starting from a long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls and place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
06 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - While the rolls cool slightly, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and pourable.
08 - Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over warm peach pie cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the peach filling is completely cooled before adding to the dough to prevent sogginess.
02 - Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice uniform rolls for even baking.
