How to Serve Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

How to Store Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

You can store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place the rolls in the refrigerator for about a week. If you want to keep them for even longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They will last for about 2-3 months in the freezer.

Tips to Make Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls

• Make sure your milk is just warm, not hot, to keep the yeast alive.
• Knead the dough well to make it soft and fluffy.
• You can add more spices like nutmeg or allspice for additional flavor.
• For a fun twist, you can mix cream cheese into the filling for extra creaminess.

Variation

Try using other fruit pie fillings, like cherry or apple, in place of the peach filling for a different flavor. You can also drizzle a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk over the top for added sweetness.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches. Just chop them up and cook them down with some sugar and spices to make your own filling.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. In the morning, just roll, slice, and bake them.

What can I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
If your dough doesn’t rise, check the temperature of your yeast mixture. It needs to be warm enough to activate the yeast but not too hot. If in doubt, you can start over with fresh yeast.
