Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 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 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 dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together carefully to form one large rectangular sheet. Lay this flat on a clean surface for easy spreading.
- Spread butter and sugar spices: Evenly brush the melted butter over the entire dough surface. Then sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough to create a flavorful layer.
- Add peach filling: Distribute the canned peach pie filling or chopped fresh peaches evenly on top of the sugar and cinnamon layer, covering the dough completely for the best flavor distribution.
- Roll the dough: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough up tight into a log shape, pinching the seams to seal and prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
- Slice rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 6 to 8 equal slices, depending on desired size, and arrange the slices upright in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked thoroughly.
- Prepare glaze: While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a sweet glaze for topping.
- Cool and glaze: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool just slightly so the glaze will not melt completely when drizzled on.
- Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately for a comforting, sweet treat.
Notes
- For a fresher flavor, use chopped fresh peaches lightly sweetened in place of canned filling.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
