Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 2 cups fresh peaches (sliced)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
Dough and Filling
- 1 package (16 oz) cinnamon roll dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Glaze
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the cinnamon roll dough according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced fresh peaches with 1/2 cup light brown sugar. Stir gently and let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to release the juices and enhance the sweetness.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the cinnamon roll dough into a rectangle. Spread the softened unsalted butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle additional brown sugar over the butter for added sweetness and cinnamon flavor.
- Add Peaches: Evenly layer the peach and brown sugar mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring an even distribution of fruit in every bite.
- Form Rolls: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even slices, each about 1 to 2 inches thick.
- Arrange in Pan: Grease a baking dish and place the cinnamon rolls cut side up, spaced evenly.
- Add Cream and Bake: Pour 1/4 cup heavy cream evenly over the arranged rolls to keep them moist and rich. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Prepare Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity as needed for desired consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls come out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling the vanilla glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, fruity delight.
Notes
- Use fully ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches (drained) can be substituted.
- For a dairy-free option, replace butter and cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Ensure the rolls are tightly rolled to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Cooling the rolls briefly before glazing helps the icing stay on top without melting away.
