Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Separate the crescent roll dough into two long rectangles. Place the rectangles with long sides together and press the edges to seal the perforations.
- Roll the combined dough into a 10x15 inch rectangle.
- Mix the pineapple spread with cinnamon and ginger until well combined.
- Spread the pineapple mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.
- Roll up the dough jelly-roll fashion starting from the 15 inch side.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1 inch thick slices.
- Place the slices cut side down on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with fingertips.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
- Arrange the rolls in a large shallow serving dish and pour pineapple butter sauce over them.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on the flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the pineapple mixture. If you don’t have crescent roll dough, puff pastry can be a great substitute. To enhance the texture, try sprinkling some finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut over the spread before rolling the dough. Keep an eye on the baking time to avoid over-browning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Pineapple Rolls warm, drizzled with a homemade pineapple butter sauce for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with a light fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. For a fun gathering, consider serving them alongside other treats like Butterscotch Pound Cake or a refreshing Picnic Pasta salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Pineapple Rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help keep the rolls crisp rather than soggy, ensuring a delightful texture.
