How to make canned cinnamon rolls better?
Canned cinnamon rolls on their own are really good. They're a fast, easy breakfast that everyone enjoys. But what if you wanted to make canned cinnamon rolls better?
One way would be to add extra ingredients such as pouring heavy cream on top of the rolls right before baking. I do this with my Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream. The end result is a very rich, tender cinnamon roll.
One of the easiest ways to make refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls better is to add canned fruit pie filling...like we're doing today and as I did with these other recipes, Cinnamon Rolls with Cherry Pie Filling, Cinnamon Rolls with Apple Pie Filling.
