There are a lot of steps to making these cinnamon rolls, but have no fear, I’ve included a step-by-step guide for you so that you can crank these bad boys out at your next 1st of Fall dinner or just because you love people and want to share your love through food.

My friend hosts a fall/autumn or back to school dinner every year and I’m telling you, she goes to the extreme! As beautiful and wonderful as it is I can’t help but wonder if those kids are craving a relationship more than a fancy table. So, I decided to go for both heart and tummy and make something that’s all about the beauty of changing leaves and as delicious as Thanksgiving.

How to Make the Cinnamon Roll Dough

The process for making the cinnamon roll dough is just like making any other yeast dough. Here are the basic steps:

1. Warm: Add the water and cream to a glass measuring cup and heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute so that it is warm. You don’t want it to be hot.
2. Activate: Add the yeast and sugar to the warm cream mixture and allow the phone to activate. It should foam up.
3. Warm: In a separate glass measuring cup, add the buttermilk and warm in the microwave so that it’s luke warm and then add it to the yeast mixture.
4. Whisk: Add the remaining sugar, salt, oil, butter and eggs and whisk until combined.
5. Combine: Add the sugar and oil mixture and the yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixture with the dough hook attachment.
6. Add: Pour the flour over the top of the wet ingredients, add the soy lecithin (optional) and then mix the dough in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment until it comes together in a ball and then mix for 3 more minutes. Add more flour if necessary of the dough seems too sticky.
7. Rise: Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with a dish towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours.

How to Make the Peach Jam

While the dough is rising, make the peach jam. If you don’t want to make you’re own, store-bought peach preserves will work just fine. Making homemade jam is definitely preferred though! Here is how you make the jam:

1. Mix: Mix the peaches, sugar and lemon juice together in a medium saucepan over medium heat and then stir in the EZ gel.
   • NOTE: I strongly recommend using fresh peaches for this step. There’s just no comparison with the flavor, texture, but if you absolutely must, canned or frozen peaches. Drain off as much juice as possible and let the frozen peaches thaw. If I had to choose between the two, I would use frozen peaches over canned peaches.
   • NOTE: Can I just pause for a moment and tell you how much I love Cornaby’s EZ Gel for thickening fruit filling?! It is such a great product. I highly recommend all of their product, but the EZ Gel has become a staple in my pantry!
2. Simmer: Let the jam simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. Set aside to cool.

How to Make the Cobbler Crumble Topping

While the jam is cooling and the dough is rising, make the crumble topping…

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix: Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix with your hands until combined.
3. Bake: Spread over the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
4. Cool: Remove the crumble topping from the oven and let it cool completely. Then break it up into large chunks.

Half of the crumb topping will go inside the sweet rolls and the rest will be sprinkled on top.

How to Make the Cinnamon Filling

This is the easiest step! Just mix everything together!

1. Mix: Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and mix into a paste. Set aside until you assemble the cinnamon rolls.

How to Make the Peach Cream Cheese Frosting

Make sure you start with the cream cheese at room temperature so that the frosting doesn’t end up lumpy. The frosting will go on the cinnamon rolls after they bake.

1. Beat: In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese and beat on high speed until it is smooth.
2. Mix: Add the corn syrup, powdered sugar and vanilla and mix on low until combined. Gradually add the milk until desired consistency.
3. Swirl: Add dollops of jam into the frosting and swirl it a few times.

How to Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls

Now that you have all the different components for the cinnamon rolls ready, this is how you will assemble them…

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling over the dough and then spread a cup of the jam on top of the cinnamon filling. Sprinkle half of the crumb topping all over.

Roll the dough into a log and then use a long piece of unflavored dental floss or a sharp serrated knife and cut the log into rolls. Place the rolls in a baking pan, cover with a towel and allow them to rise.

Bake the rolls. Be sure to not overbake them! Once the tops start becoming golden, they are done! When the rolls are done, pull them out of the oven and spread the frosting all over the hot rolls with a spoon. Finally, sprinkle the rest of the crumb topping all over the top. Then devour!

How to Know When Your Dough Has Risen

It can be difficult to know when yeast dough has risen enough but not too much. Recipes always say to let rise until the dough has doubled, but what does that really mean?! I have a little trick that I like to follow.

I poke the dough! I put a little oil or flour on my finger and gently but firmly poke the dough. If it bounces back immediately then it needs a little more time to rise. If the dough bounces back slowly, then it is ready. It takes some practice, but you’ll get the hang of it!

Why We Love These Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

The texture of the crunchy crumble topping alongside the creamy peach frosting both on top of the gooey cinnamon rolls makes for the perfect bite!

These sweet rolls are total crowd pleasers and completely made from scratch! They can be an indulgent breakfast or a totally irresistible dessert. They are a bit labor intensive, but man, they are worth every effort!

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 or 3 days. I would recommend not storing them in the refrigerator at that seems to dry them out. I always like to reheat them a little in the microwave before eating them because they are so good warm, but you don’t have to.

If you want to freeze these rolls, I recommend freezing them after you have sliced them and before that second rise. Then when you are ready to bake them, let them thaw and come to room temperature and then rise that second time. Then bake them as written in the instructions.
