So here are the steps. After rolling out a quick and easy dough, you add peaches and roll up jelly roll fashion. The pinwheels are placed in a dish with melted butter. A sugar syrup is poured in between the pinwheels. The recipe is baked part way. Then it’s sprinkled with sugar on top and baked some more.
The amazing thing about this recipe is how much the pinwheels expand while baking. They fill the baking dish. They end up soft, fluffy and utterly delightful. This cobbler is best served warm, but it’s wonderfully delicious cold with ice cream too.
Back in 2019 I received a box of nectarines and peaches from the Washington State Fruit Commission. They asked me to blog about their product. I ended up making two fabulous nectarine desserts. (I’ve never baked with nectarines before). I also made four peach desserts.
I sent the lot of my recipes out to John’s office along with four other pies. I couldn’t believe it when he told me they had cleaned out everything by 4 pm. He got comments all day long about how much everyone enjoyed the treats. Yes, they were all spectacular, including this Peach Pinwheel Cobbler.
This is an extraordinary peach cobbler recipe. Before peach season ends, go out and get the ingredients so you can enjoy Peach Pinwheel Cobbler too. Don’t be surprised if your family cleans out the whole dish in one sitting. 🙂 These recipes were so good I thought I’d share them with you again.

THIS IS NOT COBBLER! Please stop dumbing down home cooks calling things “cobbler” that aren’t. Cobbler is a 5 ingredient dish, with a thin batter that rises up around INDIVIDUAL pieces of fruit. You have made peach cinnamon rolls, nothing to do with cobbler. Do you call a ford mustang a pickup truck because they have tires in common?

Hi, Ace. I have lots of recipes for cobblers that have more than 5 ingredients and are not as simple as you describe. While this one is a little different it is absolutely wonderful and it is not merely cinnamon rolls. Thanks for stopping by.
