Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup canned peach pie filling (or fresh peaches, chopped and lightly sweetened)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and press the seams together gently to create one large rectangle lay flat.
- Add butter and spices: Spread the melted unsalted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly on top for flavor.
- Spread the peach filling: Distribute the peach pie filling or chopped, lightly sweetened fresh peaches evenly over the cinnamon sugar layer, covering the dough fully.
- Roll the dough: Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one edge to the other, pinching the seams to seal the roll and keep the filling inside.
- Slice the rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 6 to 8 equal slices and arrange them spaced apart in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
- Make the glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Cool and glaze: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes before drizzling the prepared glaze over the top.
- Serve warm: Serve the peach pie cinnamon rolls warm for best flavor and enjoy your delicious dessert or breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute canned peach pie filling with fresh peaches lightly sweetened with a bit of sugar.
- Make sure to seal the seams well when rolling to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for thinner glaze, add more milk gradually.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen before baking for easy future preparation.
