Ingredients You’ll Need

- 1 tbsp water: This helps the peaches soften and creates a lovely syrup as they cook.
- 3 tbsp sugar: Sweetens the peaches perfectly and helps balance their natural tartness. Adjust more or less depending on your peach ripeness.
- 2 tbsp flour: Aids in thickening the peach mixture, creating a nice consistency.
- 2 tsp cinnamon: Adds that distinctive warm flavor we all love in cinnamon rolls, enhancing the whole cobbler.
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg: This spice adds a warm undertone, complementing the cinnamon beautifully.
- 1 package Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough: The star of the dish that provides a soft, sweet, and gooey topping; feel free to use another brand, or even try homemade dough for an extra special touch!
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9-inch square pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Peaches: Pit, peel, and slice the peaches, then place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Cook the Peach Filling: Add 1 tbsp of water, 3 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of flour, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. Stir occasionally over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and bubbly.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Carefully pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Topping: Cut each cinnamon roll into fourths and sprinkle the dough evenly over the top of the peaches, creating a delightful, fluffy layer.
- Bake Covered: Tent a piece of foil over the baking dish to keep the moisture in, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Add the Icing: After taking it out of the oven, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll package over the warm cobbler for that perfect finishing touch.
Storing & Reheating
To store any leftovers, let your Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler cool and then cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can sit at room temperature for up to a day, or refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. If you’d like to extend its life, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy again, simply reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind that the texture might change slightly after freezing, but a little extra icing on top can refresh its charm!
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor—overripe fruits can be overly soft and mushy.
- Ensure your cinnamon rolls are cut small enough so that they bake evenly and create a delightful topping.
- Don’t forget to check the doneness of your cinnamon roll dough; it should be golden brown and baked through before serving.
- For an extra touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top when serving—it’s a heavenly combination!
- Feel free to experiment with additional spices like ginger or cloves for a unique flavor twist.
