I love making these Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls, especially during summer when peaches are at their best. The sweet, juicy fruit combined with warm cinnamon rolls is a match made in heaven. Plus, I enjoy sharing these rolls with family and friends, creating a little sweetness in our lives.
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cream cheese

My Trusted Kitchen Tools
I use a mixing bowl, a whisk, a rolling pin, and a baking dish for these rolls. A spatula and a knife come in handy for spreading and slicing too!
Bringing It All Together
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in melted butter and egg.
- In another bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually add to the yeast mixture to form a dough.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread diced peaches, cinnamon, and brown sugar on top.
- Roll tightly and slice into rolls.
- Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- For the glaze, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)
You can switch out peaches for your favorite fruit. Apples or berries also work beautifully in this recipe. If you want to make it vegan, substitute the egg for applesauce and use almond milk instead of regular milk.
How We Love to Serve It
These rolls are best served warm and fresh from the oven. I love pairing them with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. They also make a delightful brunch item; a perfect way to impress guests!
A Few Tips For Success
Make sure your milk is warm, not hot; it should feel like warm bath water. This helps the yeast activate. Kneading the dough well is essential to get a nice texture, so don’t rush that step!
Saving Some For Later
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to get that fresh-baked feel again.
From My Kitchen to Yours
I hope you enjoy these Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls as much as I do. They are perfect for those moments when you want something comforting and sweet. Happy baking!
Your Questions, Answered
How do I know if my Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls are done?
You can tell they are done when they are golden brown on top and bounce back when lightly pressed. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Can I freeze Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls?
Yes, you can freeze them! Bake and cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Store in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy them.
Can I use canned peaches for the rolls?
Absolutely! Just make sure to drain them well and chop them into smaller pieces so they blend nicely into the rolls.
