Ingredients

  • Camp cooker
  • Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Spray the interior of the camp cooker with non stick spray.
  • Carefully open the Phillsbury can and place one cinnamon bun into the camp cooker.
  • Close and latch the camp cooker
  • Cook the cinnamon bun over the campfire for about 15 minutes.  A small campfire at a low temperature works best so that the dough has time to cook all the way through.  Flip and unlatch the camp cooker several times to check for doneness.
  • Remove the bun from the cooker and top with frosting.

Notes

  • Warm the pie iron for a minute over the fire before adding your cinnamon roll to help it cook evenly.
  • Use parchment paper in the cooker for quicker cleanup and less mess.
  • Don’t place your cooker directly in large flames—hot coals or a small campfire work best.
  • Add a tiny bit of cream cheese or orange peel to the icing for a fun flavor twist.
  • Rotate the camp cooker often for an even golden crust all around.
  • Let the buns cool for a couple minutes before adding icing so it doesn't melt into a puddle.
