Instructions
Peach Filling
- To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and their juices are bubbling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Pour the slurry into the peach mixture and stir well. Cook for 1 more minute until thickened, then remove from heat.
- Let the peach filling cool completely.
Dough
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add warm milk, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and yeast. Mix gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add eggs, softened butter, remaining granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, bread flour, and kosher salt.
- Switch to the dough hook attachment and mix on low speed until just combined. Then, increase speed to medium and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly spray a medium bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1–2 hours.
- Lightly flour your counter or work surface. Once the dough has doubled, gently punch it down and roll it into a 10×15-inch rectangle, about ¼- inch thick.
Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Spoon 1 cup of the cooled peach filling over the butter mixture and spread evenly. Reserve the remaining peach filling for topping after baking.
- Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 9 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- When rolls are nearly finished rising, preheat the oven to 325°F.
Crumble Topping
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle most of the crumble evenly over the unbaked rolls, reserving ¼ cup for the topping.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the rolls are golden on the edges and baked through in the center.
Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
- When rolls are nearly done baking, add cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Mix on low until just combined, then increase to high speed and beat for 4–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the warm rolls while they are still in the pan.
- Top each roll with a spoonful of the reserved peach filling and a sprinkle of the remaining crumble.
