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!

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.
