Method
Prep and base
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper if desired, then set aside.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and gently press them into the prepared pan to form an even base. Brush the top with the melted butter.
- Bake the crust for 8 minutes, until it is just beginning to set, then remove the pan.
Peach filling
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add peaches, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and cornstarch, then cook for 5–7 minutes until the peaches soften and the filling thickens slightly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Keep the peach filling warm while you prepare the crumble.
Cobbler crumble and assemble
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold cubed unsalted butter until coarse crumbs form.
- Spread the warm peach filling evenly over the partially baked cinnamon roll base. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake for 28–35 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until the crumble is golden and the cinnamon roll layer is fully cooked.
Finish and serve
- Cool the bars for at least 20 minutes. This helps the filling set for cleaner slices.
- Warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing for a few seconds in the microwave, then drizzle generously over the bars. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.
- Slice into bars and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Pro tip: for the thickest, most sliceable middle, let the bars cool at least 20 minutes before glazing—warm bars stay gooey, but fully cooled bars slice cleaner. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; rewarm individual portions in the microwave for 10–15 seconds. Freezing yes: freeze bars (without extra topping) up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the fridge. Dietary swap: use gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour in the crumble and base layer (plus a gluten-free cinnamon roll brand) for a gluten-free version.
