Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 can (16.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
For Serving (Optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
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 ingredients: Evenly spread half of the cherry pie filling on the bottom of the greased crock pot.
- Add the cinnamon rolls: Separate the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and place the individual rolls in a single layer over the cherry pie filling.
- Top with more cherries: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the rolls if using, then spoon the remaining cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the rolls.
- Slow cook: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on the High setting for 2 hours or on Low for 3 hours, until the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Drizzle with icing: When the rolls are done, drizzle the reserved icing that came with the cinnamon roll dough over the warm rolls for a sweet finish.
- Serve & enjoy: Serve the cinnamon rolls immediately, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence and creaminess.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your crock pot model; check doneness by ensuring rolls are cooked through.
- For a less sweet option, you can reduce the amount of cherry pie filling used.
- Make sure to grease the crock pot thoroughly to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- You can add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for added texture.
