Cream Cheese Roll Ups
Happy fall, ya’ll! These cream cheese roll ups stuffed with apple pie filling and rolled in cinnamon sugar are the perfect fall treat!
I serve them with cinnamon buttermilk caramel sauce for dipping but they are just as good on their own. I’m just addicted to this caramel and find an excuse to use it with everything!
What’s a better fall flavor combination than apples, cinnamon, and caramel? I’ll wait.
There isn’t any!

How to make Cream Cheese Roll-Ups
These little crispy cuties are so easy to make! All you do is take cinnamon swirl bread. Cut off the crusts and roll them out with a rolling pin until they are flat.
Then, take the cream cheese, apple pie filling and mix it together. Take that and spread it all over the bread.
Roll them up like little cigars, dip them in melted butter. Roll them next in cinnamon sugar and place on a sheet tray.
Bake them off until lightly golden brown.
And, that’s it! They get this crispy, crunchy, addictive exterior and the inside stays moist and ooey-gooey from the cream cheese.
Cinnamon cream cheese roll ups- perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert!
How to store cream cheese roll-ups:
I recommend storing any extra in an airtight container in the fridge but these are definitely best when eaten right away! Plus that won’t be hard since they are so good!
Have I mentioned how amazing these smell too? I mean it doesn’t get much better than this!
There is a hint of apple too, it’s just a showstopper of a breakfast, or snack, or dessert!

Rob says
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?
Barbara S Dramer says
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
Dana DeVolk says
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.
