These cinnamon rolls are a fun new way to make a phyllo dough dessert and can be made I less than an hour! They have no yeast and are super crispy and filled with flavor I every bite.
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. (See photos above for a visual).
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.
