Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the peach filling:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the creamy frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Make the dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the peach filling: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir to mix well.
- Roll out the dough: Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the filling: Brush the dough with melted butter and evenly spread the peach mixture over the dough.
- Roll and slice: Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make the frosting: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Frost and serve: Spread the creamy frosting over the warm rolls and enjoy your delicious spiced peach cobbler cinnamon rolls!
Additional Tips:
- Serving suggestion: Pair with fresh peaches or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
