Description

Crockpot Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Roll-Ups are a soft, sweet, and comforting treat made with simple ingredients and minimal effort. These bite-sized rolls are coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture and slow-cooked until perfectly tender on the inside with a lightly caramelized, golden exterior. The slow cooker gives them a unique texture—moist, fluffy, and rich with warm cinnamon flavor in every bite. Whether you enjoy them as a cozy breakfast, quick dessert, or snack with tea or coffee, these roll-ups deliver bakery-style goodness right at home. They’re also highly customizable, allowing you to add fillings like chocolate, cream cheese, or fruit for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough)
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

¼ cup melted butter

Optional Fillings:

Cream cheese
Chocolate chips
Apple pie filling
Nutella

Optional Toppings:

Powdered sugar
Vanilla glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla)
Caramel drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Unroll crescent dough or flatten biscuit dough. If using fillings, add a small amount in the center and roll tightly into small logs.
Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Coat the Rolls: Dip each roll into melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated on all sides.
Arrange in Crockpot: Lightly grease the crockpot or line with parchment paper. Place the rolls inside, leaving a little space between each one to allow for expansion.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or on high for 1–1.5 hours. Check occasionally to ensure they don’t overcook or burn at the edges.
Finish: Once done, sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze or caramel sauce for added sweetness. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
