FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches. Drain them well and pat dry to avoid extra moisture that could make the rolls soggy.

Ingredients
Dough
- Cinnamon roll dough – 1 batch (about 1 lb or 450g)
Peach Filling
- Fresh peaches, peeled and diced – 2 cups (about 300g)
- Brown sugar – 1/2 cup (100g)
- Cinnamon – 1 tablespoon
- Butter, softened – 2 tablespoons (28g)
Icing
- Powdered sugar – 1 cup (120g)
- Milk or cream – 2 to 3 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a bowl, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix well until the peaches are evenly coated with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Roll out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the cinnamon roll dough into a rectangle approximately 12×16 inches in size.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the peach filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when baking.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice the rolled dough into 12 evenly sized rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the slices cut-side up on a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Icing: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or sugar as needed.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are warm and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing generously over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture in the rolls.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches if out of season; thaw and drain well before use.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk alternatives in the dough and icing.
- Ensure that the slices are not too thick or the rolls may not cook through properly.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
