Key Ingredients for Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

To get started on your Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls, here’s what you’ll need:

• Dough:
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • ½ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp salt
• Peach Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Topping:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. Add egg, softened butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until smooth, then gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough:
   On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a lightly greased bowl, covered with a kitchen towel, for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Prepare the Filling:
   In a medium bowl, gently toss the diced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch if using. Set aside for the flavors to blend.
4. Roll Out the Dough:
   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough.
5. Form the Rolls:
   Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
6. Final Rise:
   Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Bake:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
8. Prepare the Glaze:
   In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.

Top Tips for Perfecting Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

• Substitutions: If you can’t find fresh peaches, frozen peaches work as a great alternative. Just thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.
• Timing: Make sure to let the dough rise adequately for the best texture. If it’s too cold, the yeast won’t activate properly.
• Avoid Common Mistakes: Watch your baking time! Overbaking will lead to dry rolls. You want them golden brown on top, not too dark.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To store your Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls, let them cool completely, then cover them tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider wrapping them tightly and freezing them for up to 2 months. Reheat in a microwave for 15-30 seconds or in a warm oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to bring back their original fluffiness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

With this easy and delightful recipe, you can bring Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls to your family gathering. Enjoy the process and the smiles that come with serving this delicious treat!
