Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These cinnamon roll-ups are incredibly easy to make, and they cook perfectly over an open fire, giving you that smoky, crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and gooey. The cinnamon-sugar coating makes each bite irresistibly sweet, and the simplicity of the recipe makes it a great activity to enjoy with friends or family. Plus, they’re versatile—you can drizzle them with icing, top them with chocolate chips, or enjoy them as is!

Ingredients:

• 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough for a thicker version)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
• Optional: Icing (from the can of cinnamon rolls or homemade)
• Skewers or long sticks (for grilling)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
2. Prepare the Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll the dough. If using pizza dough, roll it out flat into a rectangular shape. Brush a light layer of melted butter onto the dough.
3. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
4. Roll Up the Dough: Cut the dough into strips or rectangles. Then, tightly roll each piece into a log shape (similar to how you’d make a cinnamon roll). For longer skewers, you can cut the dough into 2-inch pieces to make smaller roll-ups.
5. Skewer the Dough: Carefully thread each dough roll onto a skewer or stick, making sure the rolls are spaced apart slightly for even cooking.
6. Cook Over the Campfire: Hold the skewers over the campfire, turning occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll-ups are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to burn them, so keep them at a reasonable distance from the flames.
7. Serve: Once golden and crispy, carefully remove the cinnamon roll-ups from the skewers. Optionally, drizzle with icing or serve as-is for a sweet, gooey treat. Enjoy immediately!

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

• Dough Option: If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can use pizza dough for a more substantial roll-up. Just be sure to roll it thinner for the best texture.
• Flavors: You can also experiment with different spices or add-ins, like a dash of nutmeg or a sprinkle of chocolate chips before rolling.
• Cooking Tip: Keep a close eye on the roll-ups to avoid burning. It’s best to cook them over indirect heat to ensure they cook through without charring.
