Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 can (16.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
Serving
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot: Grease the inside of the crock pot with unsalted butter to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking during cooking.
- Layer the cherry pie filling: Spread half of the cherry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the greased crock pot.
- Add the cinnamon rolls: Separate the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and place the rolls in a single layer over the cherry pie filling.
- Top with remaining filling and cinnamon: Sprinkle the optional ground cinnamon over the rolls, then spoon the remaining cherry pie filling evenly over the top.
- Slow cook the rolls: Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2 hours or on low heat for 3 hours until the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Drizzle with icing: Once cooked, drizzle the reserved icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls over the warm rolls to add sweetness and moisture.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the cinnamon rolls immediately. For an extra indulgent touch, add whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Notes
- You can optionally sprinkle ground cinnamon on top to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
- Use a crock pot liner or grease well to ensure easy cleanup.
- Check the rolls near the end of cooking time to avoid overcooking as slow cooker temperatures can vary.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for a dessert version or enjoy plain for breakfast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
