Making Cinnamon Roll Fruit Cups – Tips and Tricks
Turning the cinnamon rolls into fruit cups was entertaining. The first batch I did ended up rising just like regular old cinnamon rolls. The second batch I did turned out much better. I pressed the cinnamon roll into a cup in the jumbo muffin tins, baked them part way, and then used a spoon to press the air back out. What resulted was an adorable cinnamon roll cup that could be filled with about a half a cup of anything you choose. I found the jumbo cinnamon rolls work best and provided a great base for fruit, whipped cream, and the caramel sauce that came in the rolls.
