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 12–15 minutes while mashing occasionally until it becomes juicy and thickened. Mix cornstarch with water; then stir this mixture into your jam. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes before transferring it to a bowl to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Tangzhong

Whisk together water and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook while whisking constantly for 4–5 minutes until it achieves a thick paste-like consistency. Transfer it to a bowl and allow it to cool.

Step 3: Make the Dough

In your stand mixer bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt. Pour in milk, add egg, vanilla extract, and tangzhong. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Gradually add softened butter one tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated. Knead for about 10–11 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place it 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

Combine melted butter with flour, sugars, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl until you get a crumbly texture. Chill this mixture until it’s time to use it.

Step 5: Roll and Fill

Roll out your dough into an 18×15-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread brown sugar filling over it followed by cooled peach jam. Evenly layer thin peach slices across this mixture. Cut into strips approximately 1½ inches wide before rolling each strip into swirls. Place them in a parchment-lined baking dish (9×13-inch). Cover them with plastic wrap again and let rise for another hour until doubled.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Sprinkle crumb topping over rolled dough before baking them for about 30–35 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Allow cooling slightly after removing them from the oven.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

In a mixing bowl, whip together room temperature cream cheese with butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar before whisking in heavy cream to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle this frosting over warm rolls just before serving.
