Peach Filling
- In a saucepan, mix together the cubed peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 12–15 minutes, occasionally mashing until the mixture is juicy and thickened.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water and cook for an additional 2 minutes until it further thickens.
- Transfer the filling to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.
Tangzhong
- In a small saucepan, whisk together ½ cup water and ½ cup all-purpose flour over medium heat. Continuously whisk for 4–5 minutes until the mixture transforms into a thick, paste-like consistency.
- Once ready, transfer the tangzhong to a bowl and let it cool down while you prepare the dough.
Dough
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine 3½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt.
- Add milk, the cooled tangzhong, egg, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
- Gradually add softened butter, one tablespoon at a time. Knead on medium speed for about 10–11 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise in a greased bowl for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Crumb Topping
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Stir until the mixture is crumbly in texture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while the dough rises.
Assemble Rolls
- Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your surface and roll it out into an 18×15-inch rectangle.
- Evenly spread the crumb filling over the surface, followed by the cooled peach filling. Then, layer thinly sliced peaches on top.
- Cut the dough into 12 strips that are approximately 1½ inches wide, and tightly roll each strip into swirls.
Second Rise
- Place the swirls in a parchment-lined 9×13-inch metal baking dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for roughly another hour.
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Generously sprinkle the chilled crumb topping over the rolls before placing them in the oven.
- Bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan.
Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese and softened butter until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing, then drizzle in heavy cream to adjust consistency.
- Drizzle generously over the warm peach cobbler cinnamon rolls before serving.
