Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler

• Peaches: Is there anything better than an in-season peach? Look for fragrant peaches with slightly soft flesh. You can also use frozen peaches, just thaw them first.
• Sugar: Plain white granulated sugar dissolves easily and has a mild flavor that showcases the peach flavor.
• Cornstarch: As the peaches bake, a bit of cornstarch will thicken up the juices and make them irresistibly syrupy.
• Vanilla extract: A bit of vanilla enhances the natural fragrant sweetness of peaches. Tap into your batch of homemade vanilla extract or use store-bought.
• Refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing: Use your favorite tube of cinnamon rolls, or try the winner of our cinnamon roll taste test.

Directions

Step 1: Combine the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. Stir gently. Transfer to a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.

Separate the cinnamon rolls and reserve the icing from the package. Cut each roll into four pieces. Arrange them evenly over the peaches.

Step 2: Bake the cobbler

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the filling is bubbly and the cinnamon rolls are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes longer.

Step 3: Ice the cobbler

Drizzle the icing across the top of the cobbler. Serve warm.

Recipe Variations

• Change up the fruit: Most ripe stone fruits, notably plums or nectarines, will taste delicious in this peach cobbler with cinnamon rolls. In the fall, you can also use thinly sliced apples—try baking apples for the best texture.
• Add spices: The rolls already contain cinnamon, but go ahead and add a sprinkling of nutmeg, Chinese five-spice powder or cardamom.
• Garnish with nuts: Sprinkle nuts over the tops of the cinnamon rolls before baking. Chopped pecans and walnuts are especially delicious.
• Top with cream cheese frosting: While cinnamon roll icing is easiest when you’re in a time crunch, slathering cream cheese frosting across the top of this cinnamon roll peach cobbler recipe is a real treat when you have a few extra minutes.
