Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of pre-made refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry if you prefer a flakier crust)
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced (or substitute with canned peaches, drained)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for glazing (optional)
- Fresh mint or additional peach slices for garnish (optional)
For substitutions, I often use canned peaches when peaches aren’t in season. Just make sure to drain them well so your filling isn’t too watery. If you prefer a richer dough, you could swap in homemade biscuit dough, but honestly, the store-bought crescent sheet saves so much time and still delivers that flaky, tender texture I love from my grandma’s baked goods.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. I find that baking on these helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze—plus, it’s what my grandma always used when baking.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated. If your peaches seem extra juicy, sprinkle in the tablespoon of flour to help thicken the filling during baking. I learned this trick from my grandma—she always said a little flour makes the filling hold together beautifully.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten it into a rectangle, about 10×12 inches. This step isn’t mandatory but helps create a more uniform roll and even distribution of filling. I love doing this because it makes the process feel a bit more hands-on, like those weekends in grandma’s kitchen.
- Spread the melted butter evenly over the dough. Then sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, followed by the peach mixture, spreading it out gently but evenly.
- Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal slices. Rest assured, the peaches may spill a little—this is part of the charm! Just press the filling back into the cut edges if needed.
- Place the cinnamon rolls cut side up onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each for expansion. I like to brush the tops lightly with a bit more melted butter for extra gloss and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Keep an eye on them—I’ve had moments where a minute too long turns them from perfect to slightly overdone. Grandma always said, “Watch the oven, Emma, patience makes perfect cookies.”
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk. I often sprinkle fresh mint or extra peach slices on top for a fresh, vibrant touch, bringing back memories of summer afternoons in her garden.
