Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups, apple cream cheese rolled inside cinnamon swirl bread and baked to crunchy, creamy deliciousness.
Happy fall, ya’ll! These Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups are stuffed with apple pie filling and rolled in cinnamon sugar is the perfect fall treat!
These are great with a dipping sauce of your favorite kind but they are just as good on their own. We like to dip them in our Cinnamon Buttermilk Caramel Sauce, it is so so good!
We find any excuse to use this sauce and these Cream Cheese Roll Ups are the perfect excuse to use the sauce because they pair so well together.
What’s a better fall flavor combination than apples, cinnamon, and caramel? There really is no better combination, and there is no reason not to make these!
Apple season is my favorite because it is one of my favorite flavors to bake and create with and these Cream Cheese Roll Ups are one of our favorites, and super easy to make!
You know how I am with super easy and this recipe is just that! So I highly encourage you to make a batch of these for yourself and then you will see what I’m talking about.

DO I HAVE TO USE CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD?
No, you do not. We find that it gives a great extra cinnamon flavor to this recipe but if you do not like the bread or cannot find it you do not have to use it.
You can use any regular sandwich bread for this kind, white or wheat would be my other two suggestions for this. If you use any other kind, it might hinder the taste of this recipe.
CAN I USE MY OWN APPLE PIE FILLING?
Absolutely, if you like to make your own homemade the better! We use canned for this recipe for the ease but are not against using homemade at all.
You can also use cinnamon applesauce in a pinch. This might be runnier, but it will still work for this recipe.
HOW TO STORE:
I recommend storing any extra in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3-4 days.
These are definitely best when eaten right away! Plus that won’t be hard since they are so good!
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- You do not have to use cinnamon swirl bread for this recipe, you can use regular white or wheat.
- Feel free to make your own homemade apple pie filling.
- Cinnamon applesauce can be used in a pinch for this recipe.
- Easily double this batch, trust me you will want to!
- These are great served with a tasty caramel sauce, or even a powdered sugar and milk glaze.

Dana, this looks delicious!!!
This recipe has me drooling all over my keyboard!
Oh my goodness ! I am totally drooling over here 😀 Love, love this as a sweet treat !
Hola, soy de Uruguay probaré hacerlos y te cuento. Ya hice los biscochitos de canela con harina para celiacos y quedaron deliciosos. Gracias y mil gracias.
You had me at Cinnamon and Cream Cheese!!!!
Would love to try the apple cinnamon roll ups, but unfortunately I am unable to see the entire recipe.
I just checked, the full printable recipe is at the bottom of the post. Not sure why you can’t see it.
Could you use fresh apples in place of pie filling?
I modified this with a GOOD white bread..
Used Mascapone cheese also.
Pwd. sugar over baked deserts.
All to taste and these got RAVES..Thanks for sharing.
Can be used for so many deserts and roll up sandwiches.

I’ve made these 3 times, they are delicious and always a big hit, but it took me much longer than the 10 minutes prep time stated in the recipe. I’d like to make them for a breakfast party, has anybody made them ahead and frozen them?
Thanks
Dana, I just made them and instead of staying firm and keeping their cigar shape, they flattened out during baking. Can you troubleshoot this problem?
Me again.. I just re-watched your video to see if I could find any hint of what I did wrong, and I’m stumped. I did everything exactly as you did in the video. Hope you can think of something! Barbara
I really have no idea! Maybe the pieces of bread were too small or you didn’t roll them tight enough? Also, did you not put them seam side down? Those are the only things I can think of.
Love this recipe. I made just as directed. Will double next time. /
LOVE this idea, but can’t stand apple pie. Could I just use cream cheese on the inside, and keep cinnamon flavor? Or…well, what would be a good replacement for the apple pie filling? Ideas, anyone? Thanks!
Yes you can definitely just use cream cheese. Any filling would be good, blueberry, peach, anything you like with cinnamon.
