My younger brothers and I would always fight over the Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls when we were growing up. We would shovel them into our mouths as soon as we got home from school. Dad would eat his in a bowl filled with cream or milk. And every now and then, I would sit down with a large slab of Pie Crust Cinnamon Roll and top it off with about five scoops of vanilla ice cream. 🙂 These lovely cinnamon rolls never ever made it to breakfast because we scarfed them down so quickly they were usually gone by the evening. They really are, however, a great breakfast or brunch treat.
Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls are great for holiday breakfasts, brunches, special occasions, tailgating parties, or just because. Any time I make up a pie, I purposely make up enough dough to make up at least one Pie Crust Cinnamon Roll of some flavor to go along with it. I’ve made Apricot Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls and Peach Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls lately. You can use any flavor jam or jelly, homemade or otherwise, fresh fruit or combinations of fruit, they all turn out wonderfully.
Last month I went to a jewelry party at a friend’s house and brought a plate of Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls and some Strawberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls. I also left a few home for my husband to eat. He’s always loved Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls since my mom first introduced him to them shortly after we were married.
I will say that while the Homemade Pie Crust is my mom’s recipe, the Cinnamon Rolls made with jams and preserves are inspired from Debbie Reno Pero when we used to attend Christ Baptist Church in Upton, Massachusetts. Debbie, a southern gal from Texas, grew up baking lots of pies. Her pies are the only homemade pies that even come close to my mom’s in taste and texture. Debbie made some of these lovely treats for a large funeral in the early 1990s when we lived in New England. I think she made some with prune filling and some with apple filling. I loved the idea of using homemade fillings and jellies in Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls. I’ve made them like that ever since.
If you’re looking for a mouthwatering way to make cinnamon rolls from leftover pie crust or plain pastry then please give this recipe a try. You and your family (if they get any), will be licking your lips in no time. You may even have food fights like my brothers and I used to have! 🙂 I assure you, Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls will probably be eaten BEFORE breakfast!
Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls are sensational.
Unless you hide them, you won’t be able to eat this many Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls. Your family will probably beat you to the punch.
I’m not sure why these flavors work so well together, but they really do. Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls just seem to dissolve in my mouth when I eat them.
Here’s what I did.
Roll out pie crust. You can tell I’m using leftover pie crust because the dough isn’t rounded, but it still works. You can also use store bought pie crust.
Spread Red Raspberry Jam over top of the pie crust. I probably would have used a little more but this was all the Red Raspberry Jam I had left in the jar.
Sprinkle jam with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll crust up very tightly but be careful not to tear it. Tuck in the sides as you go to seal in the jelly so it doesn’t escape and run out while baking.
Place roll in an ungreased baking dish or place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
Bake roll at 300 for about 30-45 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. The roll on the left is Red Raspberry. The one on the right is Strawberry.
To serve: Allow cinnamon rolls to cool slightly. Slice into one or two inch pieces. If desired, place in a bowl and top with ice cream!
Red Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls are great treats for special occasion brunches and holiday breakfasts.
Here’s the recipe.

Hey, that is an old traditional pudding where I come from in Nottingham, U.K! It’s great how people invent the same things over and over again. We call it Baked Jam Roll and serve it with custard. You should try the same thing with a suet pastry, it’s a Jam Roly Poly then and it is SO good and warmings in cold weather.

Hey, Deena, thanks for stopping by. I’m not surprised at all that this is one of those old recipes that’s been around for awhile. I know it’s been in our family for over a hundred years. My dad liked his served with cream. Regardless, it sure is good, isn’t it? 🙂
