Method
Make the cinnamon roll dough
- Combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix in the warm whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and large egg until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Cook the peach cobbler filling
- Cook the fresh peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Cool the peach filling completely so it spreads without soaking the dough.
Assemble and proof the rolls
- Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
- Spread the softened unsalted butter over the dough and sprinkle with the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg mixture.
- Spoon the cooled peach filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll tightly and cut into 12 rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake and glaze
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden.
- Whisk together the cream cheese, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Spread the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For clean slices, chill the assembled roll log for 10 minutes before cutting. Store baked rolls covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; rewarm briefly before serving. Freeze baked rolls (glazed or unglazed) up to 2 months—thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the oven. For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese in the glaze.
