Description

A delightful and cozy Cranberry Cinnamon Roll Bake that combines sweet cinnamon rolls with tart cranberries and a rich brown sugar butter glaze. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, this easy-to-make casserole offers a warm, fruity twist on classic cinnamon rolls, baked to golden perfection with a luscious cranberry topping.

Ingredients

Cranberry Mixture

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 10 ounces cranberries

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 tube of cinnamon rolls (8 rolls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cinnamon roll bake evenly.
  2. Make the Brown Sugar Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar and heat them together until they melt into a smooth, luscious sauce.
  3. Cook First Half of Cranberries: Add half of the cranberries into the saucepan and keep heating while stirring continuously for about 10 minutes so the berries soften and infuse the sauce with tartness.
  4. Prepare the Baking Pan: Spray an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bake later.
  5. Combine Remaining Cranberries: Stir the rest of the cranberries into the sauce and then pour the entire cranberry and butter mixture into the prepared cake pan to serve as the base layer.
  6. Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the tube of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into small pieces; these will form the top layer of the bake.
  7. Assemble the Bake: Spread the cinnamon roll pieces evenly on top of the cranberry mixture in the pan, completely covering it.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  9. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes so it firms up slightly and is easier to handle.
  10. Invert and Serve: Carefully flip the cake onto a serving platter, so that the cranberries are beautifully displayed on top, making an impressive and delicious presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best tart flavor; frozen can be used but may add extra moisture.
  • You can substitute cinnamon rolls with your favorite brand or homemade variety.
  • Be careful when flipping the cake after baking; allow it to cool to avoid breaking.
  • This bake is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
  • Consider adding chopped nuts like pecans for extra texture and flavor.
