Cinnamon Roll Phyllo Dough Dessert
These cinnamon rolls have no yeast and are made using Athens Foods phyllo dough for the ultimate phyllo dough dessert recipe! The filling is made with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, and then the dough is rolled up in the shape of a cinnamon roll. They are baked in a cast iron skillet then drizzled with cream cheese frosting. If you have a serious sweet tooth, these are for you.
Ingredients
For the phyllo buns
- 1 box Athens Foods Phyllo Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
For the cream cheese glaze
- 2 tsp cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk
Equipment
- 8" Cast Iron Skillet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease an 8” skillet with baking spray.
- Remove the phyllo dough from the package, roll it out, and place a damp paper towel over it.
- Melt the ½ cup butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, and 2 tbsp cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Brush the melted butter mixture over 1 sheet of phyllo dough and repeat 4 more times for a total of 5 sheets together.
- Roll the dough into a long log, then roll the dough into itself to form the shape of a cinnamon bun.
- Place the roll in the skillet and repeat 6 more times to fit 7 cinnamon rolls into the skillet. You may have to squeeze them in, but they fit!
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until the outside is crispy and golden brown.
- Make the cream cheese glaze. Combine 2 tsp cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp milk, and mix until a smooth glaze forms.
- Drizzle over buns and enjoy!
Notes
There are 2 packages of phyllo in each box of phyllo dough. You will need 1 1/2 packages phyllo dough for an 8" skillet. If you only have a 10" skillet you will use all of both packages within the box.
You can also frost these with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
