Ingredients

Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath

This Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath ingredient list is surprisingly simple but delivers incredible comfort!

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, preferably with cream cheese icing included
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted – the secret to amazing Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath texture
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for sprinkling extra flavor
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar to balance the cinnamon’s warmth
  • Powdered sugar glaze (if your rolls didn’t include icing or you want extra drizzle)

You’ll find the best ingredients for this Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath at your local grocery store’s refrigerated section. For a quality upgrade, try using a high-quality European-style butter with more cream richness—it makes every bite more satisfying.

If you prefer, you can swap out the cinnamon roll dough for your favorite homemade version or even sweet yeast dough, but the ready-made dough makes this such an easy cinnamon dessert that’s perfect for busy mornings.

For storage, keep your cinnamon roll dough refrigerated until you’re ready to assemble. If you want to prep in advance, assemble the wreath and chill it overnight; then bake fresh in the morning for warm, pull-apart goodness.

Let’s Make This!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t worry—your Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath is going to turn out beautifully with just this simple start.

2. Roll out your first can of cinnamon roll dough into a rectangle, then brush melted butter evenly over the surface. This step adds that tender crumb and buttery richness.

3. Mix together your cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough to build that iconic sweet cinnamon bread ring flavor.

4. Cut the dough into roughly 1-inch squares. These pull apart cinnamon rolls are what make the wreath playful and shareable.

5. Repeat with the second can of dough.

6. Here’s a helpful tip for Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath success: Grease a bundt pan or a round cake pan well to prevent stickiness as the wreath bakes.

7. Layer the squares into your prepared pan, stacking and clustering them to form a thick, beautiful ring.

8. Drizzle any leftover melted butter over the top to encourage golden browning and irresistible aroma.

9. Bake for 25-30 minutes. In my kitchen, this Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath takes exactly 27 minutes to reach that perfect golden color and bubbly cinnamon scent.

10. When it’s out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes—this helps keep all that sweet cinnamon bread ring structure intact while still warm enough to enjoy.

11. Drizzle the cream cheese icing or glaze over the top generously. This is where your Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath transforms into something truly special.

While your Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath is cooking, take a moment to enjoy that amazing aroma filling your kitchen. Soon, everyone will be reaching for those pull apart cinnamon rolls, and you’ll see smiles all around.

This Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath creates the sweetest moments at family dinners and casual mornings alike. I’ve seen toddlers reach for the soft rolls before anyone else, and grandparents exchange happy looks over a shared bite.

For leftovers, which rarely last long, reheat gently in the oven or microwave to bring back that tender, cinnamon-scented warmth. You can even toast a small piece for a delightful crunchy edge.

If you love seasonal twists, try adding chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or a splash of orange zest before baking—each variation makes this cinnamon roll wreath recipe feel fresh yet familiar.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Assemble the wreath the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning for that warm, sticky pull-apart experience.

Q: What if I don’t have canned cinnamon rolls for my pull apart cinnamon rolls?
A: You can use homemade cinnamon roll dough or a quick sweet yeast dough substitute. For shortcuts, ready-made biscuit dough with added cinnamon sugar also works but expect a slightly different texture.

Q: How do I know when my Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath is perfectly done?
A: It should be golden brown on top and smell like warm cinnamon and butter. The internal dough will be soft but fully cooked; a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers of this sweet cinnamon bread ring?
A: Yes! Wrap individual pieces or the entire wreath tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm before serving.

Q: What’s a good alternative icing if I want a lighter topping?
A: A simple powdered sugar glaze made with lemon juice or milk adds brightness without overpowering the cinnamon flavors.

Q: Can I add nuts or fruit to the cinnamon roll wreath recipe?
A: Definitely! Chopped pecans, walnuts, or dried fruits like cranberries mix beautifully with the cinnamon sugar filling.

Q: How do I keep my Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Wreath from sticking to the pan?
A: Use plenty of butter to grease your baking pan, including all sides and the central hole, so each pull apart cinnamon roll comes out smoothly.
