Ingredients You’ll Need
- 5 peaches (pitted, peeled & sliced): Fresh, juicy peaches are the star of this dish, providing a sweet and slightly tangy basis; you can substitute with nectarines if desired.
- 1 tbsp water: Just a touch of water helps to create a syrupy base as the peaches cook down.
- 3 tbsp sugar: Granulated sugar enhances the sweetness of the peaches; feel free to use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- 2 tbsp flour: This will help thicken the peach filling, preventing it from becoming too runny. Cornstarch can also work as a substitute.
- 2 tsp cinnamon: Essential for that dreamy cinnamon roll flavor, this spice adds warmth and depth.
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg: A pinch of nutmeg brings a lovely, aromatic quality that complements the cinnamon beautifully.
- 1 package Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough: The key shortcut in this recipe; using store-bought dough simplifies the process while still tasting homemade.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray to ensure an easy release later on.
- Prep the Peaches: Take your 5 peaches, pit them, peel off the skin, and slice them into wedges. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Cook the Peaches: Add 1 tablespoon of water, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Stir occasionally over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes, just enough for the peaches to soften and the mixture to become fragrant and bubbly.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the warm peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the package of Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough, and cut each roll into fourths. Sprinkle these pieces evenly over the top of the peaches for a delightful topping.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish loosely with a piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to steam the dough a bit.
- Finish Baking: After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fragrant.
- Drizzle with Icing: Once done baking, take the dish out of the oven and drizzle the icing that came with the cinnamon roll package over the warm cobbler. This adds the perfect finishing touch!
Storing & Reheating
To store any leftovers, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Enjoy at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. If freezing, wrap tightly and store for up to 3 months. When reheating, simply pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Do keep in mind that while the flavors will still shine, the texture might be a bit softer after storing.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Common mistakes often arise from overcooking the peach filling. Keep it on low-medium heat to prevent burning.
- If your peaches aren’t quite ripe, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sugar for sweetness.
- For a more decadent touch, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top after reheating!
- Ensure your cinnamon roll dough is fresh for the best texture; overly stale dough won’t rise or fluff properly.
- Adjust the spices according to personal preference; if nutmeg isn’t your thing, simply leave it out.
Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler combines two beloved flavors into one irresistible dessert, making it a must-try for any occasion.
