Ingredients & Substitutions
Crescent Roll Dough: This dough is great for quick recipes! If you can’t find it, you can use biscuit dough instead. You could also try puff pastry for a flakier texture, but the method may vary slightly.
Peaches: Fresh peaches make these rolls shine, but if they’re out of season, canned peaches work well too! Just make sure to drain them well. You can also use other fruits like pears or apples.
Sugar: Regular granulated sugar is perfect, but you can exchange it for brown sugar for a deeper flavor that pairs nicely with the peaches. For a healthier option, try coconut sugar or a sugar substitute.
Butter: Unsalted butter is ideal, but if you only have salted, just reduce the added salt in your recipe. You could also use coconut oil or even applesauce for a lighter touch!
How Do I Get Perfectly Rolled Cinnamon Rolls?
Rolling your dough properly is key to beautiful cinnamon rolls. Start by gently pressing the crescent (or biscuit) dough into a rectangle without tearing it. Here’s how:
- Use a floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Roll from the longest edge tightly to keep the filling snug inside.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the log; a serrated knife works well!
Your rolls should be even in size for uniform baking. Be gentle but firm when rolling to keep the filling intact!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes for prep and about 20 minutes for baking, so you’ll have delicious cinnamon rolls ready in just about 30 minutes! Perfect for a quick breakfast or a delightful dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a baking dish and lightly grease it or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir them together well until fully mixed. This will create a sweet and tasty filling that perfectly complements the dough.
3. Roll Out the Dough:
On a floured surface, roll out the crescent dough (or the biscuit dough) into a rectangle. Press it gently with your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it out.
4. Add the Filling:
Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Then, sprinkle the peach mixture you made earlier evenly over the butter. Make sure to cover the entire surface for the best flavor!
5. Roll it Up:
Starting at the longer edge, carefully roll up the dough into a tight log. This keeps your filling inside for every delicious bite!
6. Slice and Arrange:
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 8 equal rolls. Place these rolls cut-side up in your prepared baking dish, giving them a little room to rise.
7. Bake:
Pop the rolls in the oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell fantastic!
8. Make the Glaze:
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with milk or peach juice until you get a smooth, pourable consistency. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk or sugar as needed.
9. Drizzle and Serve:
Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for about 5 minutes. Then drizzle the glaze over the top before serving. Enjoy these tasty treats warm for the best experience!
Happy baking! Your homemade peach cobbler cinnamon rolls are sure to be a hit!
