Did you know there is a caramel apple pie filling? I had no idea until I spotted that can on the shelf next to the regular apple and cherry fillings. It’s already sweet, spiced, and swirled with caramel, so you don’t have to cook apples, make a sauce, or measure anything.

Tips for the Best Cinnamon Rolls
- Don’t overcrowd the dish, because the rolls need room to puff.
- If the tops brown too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
