FAQs

Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls for this recipe?

Yes! Homemade cinnamon rolls can be cut into pieces and used instead of canned rolls. Just ensure they are partially cooked or raw dough to achieve the right texture after slow cooking.

What if my crockpot doesn’t have a low setting?

If your crockpot only has high settings, reduce the cooking time and check frequently to avoid overcooking. Usually, 1 to 1.5 hours on high works well, but timing may vary by device.
