Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls and Fillings
- 1 can (16.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
For Crock Pot Preparation
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
For Serving
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot: Grease the inside of the crock pot with the unsalted butter to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking during cooking.
- Layer the cherry pie filling: Spread half of the cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base.
- Add the cinnamon rolls: Separate the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and place the rolls in a single layer over the cherry pie filling in the crock pot.
- Top with remaining filling and cinnamon: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the rolls if using, then spoon the remaining cherry pie filling evenly over the top.
- Slow cook the cinnamon rolls: Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3 hours, until the rolls are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Drizzle with icing: Once cooked, drizzle the reserved icing (from the cinnamon roll can) over the warm cinnamon rolls for added sweetness and texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the cinnamon rolls immediately, optionally adding whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to enhance the indulgence of this delicious dessert.
Notes
- Use the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll dough can for drizzling on top after cooking.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crock pot model; check rolls for doneness near the end of the recommended cooking time.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter and toppings accordingly.
- Ensure rolls are arranged in a single layer for even cooking in the crock pot.
