1 large 18x26" cookie sheet pan or two smaller pans
parchment paper
1 table knife to spread butter
1 small bowl
2 small table spoons
measuring spoons
Ingredients
5ounces grape jelly(from a 10-ounce jar)
4Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts
1/4cupgranulated sugar
1/2tbsp.ground cinnamon
4tbsp.salted buttersoftened
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
Roll out pie crusts.
Spread each pie crust with one tbsp. softened butter.
Place ½ to 1 teaspoon dabs of grape jelly evenly over top of each crust.
Leave a one to two-inch border around the outside circle of the pie crust and don’t place any grape jelly in that area.
Space each dab of grape jelly about an inch apart.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each pie crust.
(You will not use all of the cinnamon-sugar mixture).
Roll up pie crust, gently but tightly crimping the edges as you roll.
Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet pan leaving about two to three inches between each Cinnamon Roll so rolls can expand while baking.
(Don’t crowd the cinnamon rolls. Use two baking sheets, if necessary).
Use a fork to press down the ends about 1/8-inch to seal cinnamon rolls.
Try to also seal the edge of the pie crust between the end pieces so the filling doesn’t leak out while baking.
Bake at 350° for approximately 25-30 minutes or until crust is baked.
Allow Cinnamon Rolls to cool completely before removing to a bread board to cut in slices.
Cut down in one to one-and-a-half inch slices.
Notes
NOTE: You will not use the entire jar of Grape jelly.NOTE: I found it easier to use Pillsbury pie crusts. They are thicker and don’t tear as easily as other store-bought brands.NOTE: Try not to overbake the Cinnamon Rolls or they end up getting too flaky. Start checking after 20 minutes.NOTE: Avoid the temptation of adding more cinnamon-sugar mixture or more grape jelly. It will end up oozing out of the of the cinnamon rolls while baking and cause a mess!
