These tasted as amazing as they look! Cinnamon Rolls filled with strawberry pie filling, baked & drizzled with icing. This recipe makes 12 rolls that were even delicious as leftovers.

  2. It’s the first time I encountered strawberry cinnamon rolls. Do cinnamon and strawberries go well together? I was wondering if I can also make cinnamon rolls with blueberries. What do you think?
