We all love quick and easy sweet treat recipes, don’t we? These Cinnamon Roll Puffs with Caramel Apple Glaze are a delicious treat. Start with a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and you’ll be enjoying these warm, gooey puffs in minutes.
There are tons of cinnamon roll hacks around and I’ve tried lots of them. This one started out when I checked the pantry to see what I had on hand that could be tasty to add to a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. The combination of apples, caramel, and cinnamon is always a hit.
Cinnamon Roll Puffs with Caramel Apple Glaze
- Start by slicing each roll in half
- Pressing each half down into a rectangle
- Roll each of the rectangles into a rope
- Twist two ropes together to make a puff
Use a pastry brush to add liquid from the apple pie filling to each of the twisted puffs.
While the puffs are baking, cut up the apples in the filling into small pieces and add caramel sauce.
Once the puffs are done, brush on the caramel and apple pie filling mixture.
These are great without the icing that comes with the refrigerated rolls, but drizzling that on added another flavor to them.

These are best when served warm, but I tried one after they had been stored in an airtight container for a day and they were still good. If you prefer them warm, pop a couple into the microwave with a damp paper towel on top for about 15 seconds.

Alexandra says
They sound delicious with the hint of apple, though I think I am too lazy to do this part. I do love the idea of creating the twisted puffs, instead of just the same boring cinnamon roll shape.
Beverly says
Ha! It doesn’t take long and it really enhances the flavor. Thanks, Alexandra.
