Paradise and Pennant Candied Fruit

Cherry Cinnamon Rolls

Warm, gooey, and bursting with flavor—these homemade cherry cinnamon rolls are the kind of treat that makes mornings feel special. What sets them apart? The candied red cherries folded into the cinnamon-sugar swirl, adding bright pops of color, juicy sweetness, and a cherry aroma that fills the kitchen. Each roll is soft and pillowy, draped in vanilla glaze, and made even more memorable by those glossy bits of fruit hidden inside.
