Ingredients
Dough and Filling
- 1 can (16.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot
Start by greasing the inside of your crock pot with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking during cooking.
- Layer the ingredients
Spread half of the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the greased crock pot to create a flavorful base layer.
- Add the cinnamon rolls
Separate the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and place the rolls in a single layer over the cherry pie filling base, ensuring they have a bit of space to expand while cooking.
- Top with more cherries and cinnamon
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the cinnamon rolls if desired. Then spoon the remaining cherry pie filling evenly over the rolls for a sweet and fruity topping.
- Slow cook
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, cooked through, and slightly golden on the edges.
- Drizzle with icing
When the rolls have finished cooking, drizzle them with the icing that came with the cinnamon roll dough while they are still warm to allow it to melt into the rolls.
- Serve & enjoy
Serve the cinnamon rolls immediately, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use refrigerated cinnamon roll dough that includes icing for ease and extra flavor.
- Greasing the crock pot well prevents the rolls from sticking and makes serving easier.
- Adjust cooking time based on your slow cooker’s heat settings and size.
- Serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream elevates this dessert to a decadent treat.
- Feel free to experiment with other pie fillings like apple or blueberry for variety.
