Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned cherry pie filling instead of making the homemade filling?

Yes, you can use canned filling for convenience, but the flavor and texture will differ. The homemade filling for these Cherry Cinnamon Rolls provides a fresher, less sugary taste and allows you to control the cherry-to-sauce ratio. For the best result that matches this recipe’s character, we recommend sticking with the homemade filling.

How should I store leftover Cherry Cinnamon Rolls?

Store leftover Cherry Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months; simply thaw and warm before serving to enjoy them fresh.

What type of cherries work best for the homemade filling?

We recommend using tart cherries like Montmorency or Morello for a balanced flavor, but sweet dark cherries also work well. Using fresh, frozen, or jarred pitted cherries all yield excellent results for your Cherry Cinnamon Rolls with Homemade Filling.
