Sweet cherry rolls are a delicious and easy-to-prepare treat that are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack.

Made with cherry preserves and a simple roll dough, these sweet treats are baked to perfection in a cast iron skillet. The high heat of the skillet helps to create a golden, crispy crust on the outside of the rolls while keeping the interior tender and fluffy. The juicy cherries provide a sweet and fruity flavor that perfectly complements the rolls’ buttery flavor, making them a hit with both kids and adults alike.

When making sweet cherry rolls in a cast iron skillet, it is important to prepare the skillet properly to ensure that the rolls cook evenly and don’t stick to the surface. This usually involves coating the skillet with oil or cooking spray and heating it up over medium heat until it is hot. Once done, the cherry rolls can be served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of icing for a truly indulgent experience.
