  • Even Slices: Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the rolls cleanly without squishing them.
  • Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the rolls to prevent them from drying out.

  • Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix 4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla for a rich topping.
  • Maple Glaze: Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, and 1 tsp maple syrup for a sweet drizzle.
  • Nutty Twist: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for extra crunch.
  • Fruit Filling: Spread a layer of apple butter or raspberry jam before adding the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
