Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler

If you’re looking at this title thinking, “Is this what it sounds like?” Heck yes! Gooey peach filling in a hot skillet, topped with warm glazed cinnamon rolls as the “cobbler.” I’ll let you in on a little secret, the cinnamon rolls are pre-bought! Skip all the proofing, bread making…etc, when you can top it off in less than 20 minutes. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️I’m not typically the “just buy it” person, but the store-bought cinnamon rolls really make this what it is, plus the bonus of no hassle.

I normally test recipes and then post them a few weeks later, but this one is just so special that I tested and am writing about it in just 1 day. One of the best things your tastebuds will ever witness! This skillet pie cobbler goodness is the perfect combo of spices, sticky filling, and cinnamon rolls as a top. I mean, can this really go bad??

Add this to your brunch table asap or frankly, just your average night on the couch late snack.

In Colorado every year we are blessed with the most amazing Palisade Peaches. These are definitely my top choice if you have access to them.

what is a cinnamon roll peach cobbler?

If you don’t understand what this is, let 👏 me 👏 tell 👏 you. Imagine a normal peach cobbler, gooey peach filling (similar to a pie), and the crispy topping similar to biscuits or a crumble. Ok, now kick that thought out of your head. Now, imagine the same filling but with warm cinnamon rolls and glaze on top instead of a crumble. Boom! You’re looking at it.

I’m a sucker for a good peach cobbler, maybe it’s the perfect combo of crunch and sweet fruit or just the thought that it’s “healthier” because of the fruit.

goods you need for the skillet cobbler

If you’re in need of a 1 hour or less summer/fall, maybe for brunch, potluck, easy dessert. You’re in the right place! This cobbler is made in a cast-iron skillet, but if you don’t have one or want to opt for something else, you could use a normal 9×13″ pan. If you’re worried about the prices of skillet pans, don’t worry. I got my lodge cast iron from Marshalls for $10.

What you need:

  • 5 peaches
  • Brown sugar
  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Pre-made cinnamon rolls (I used kroger cinnamon rolls in a can)
  • Cast Iron skillet
  • Bowl (optional)
  • Spatula

how to make the gooey peach filling

One of the best parts about this cobbler is how easy it is!

  1. Slice your peaches. I halved them, quartered, and kept halving until they were medium size. I decided not to peel my peaches because since they cook so long it doesn’t really matter, but up to you. If you do decide to peel them, blanching, then peeling is the easiest way.
  2. Next, add your peaches, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to your skillet and lightly toss them together. If your skillet is too full, add the filling to a bowl and toss until coated. Pour back into the skillet and even out.
  3. Bake the skillet at 350 F for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, add the cinnamon rolls on top of the filling and bake for another 15-20 minutes. *Remember, the baking time for your cinnamon rolls depends on the kind you get, but as long as the skillet gets 55-60 minutes of bake time and add your rolls when needed.
  4. Once baked, coat the cinnamon rolls in icing, scoop and enjoy. Add ice cream if you want to get real!

my best tips for the cinnamon roll peach cobbler

It’s hard to list my best tips on a dessert so easy, but obviously, nothing is perfect so here are the best tips.

  • I chose not to peel the peaches, but if you’d like to, blanching is the easiest way to go. (Boil, then peel)
  • Don’t add the cinnamon rolls right away when you put the skillet in the oven. The filling cooks longer than the rolls so if you add them to early, they will burn.
  • Make sure to check your cinnamon rolls directions on the packaging. Mine happened to need 15-20 minutes to cook, but yours could be different. Whatever the time may be, make sure to give the filling 55-60 minutes to cook.

serving & storing

Once you’re done devouring the skillet and possibly serving (who really needs to serve this, I know it’s all for you!) add the skillet to a covered Tupperware and place it in the fridge. You can also cover the skillet pan with foil and store it in the fridge.

The chilled peach cobbler with last for up to 4 days.

When you’re ready to indulge again, add it to a bowl and warm it up, unless you prefer chilled, then dig in!

When do I add the cinnamon rolls? – If you’re still confused about when to add the rolls and bake the skillet, here’s what you need to do. Check how long your brand of cinnamon rolls needs to cook. Ex: 20 minutes. Add the rolls to the cobbler at 40 minutes, then continue baking for another 20 for a total time of 60 minutes.

Do I use ripe peaches? – Since the peach filling cooks so long, you can really use any kind of peaches, but I prefer slightly ripe still harder peaches. In Colorado, we are blessed with juicy Palisade Peaches, which are truly the best.

Do I have to use a cast-iron skillet? – No. Although I do recommend it, it does help create a good bubbly filling, but the same job will be done in any square or rectangle baking dish like a 9×13″.

What is this cinnamon roll peach cobbler good for? – To be honest, I would eat this anytime, but my top suggestions are brunch, potluck, bbq, fall dinner…etc.
