Nothing beats a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls warm from the oven, especially during the holiday season. These classic cinnamon rolls have been given a fall-inspired twist with the addition ofHarry & David Pumpkin Butter.

The basic method for making these rolls is nearly identical to standard cinnamon rolls with the exception of the filling. In lieu of melted butter, this recipe turns to pumpkin butter. If you’ve never worked with pumpkin butter, it's essentially a slow-cooked, thick jam made from pure pumpkin, baking spices, and sugar. And, while we love making our own dough, you can make this process even simpler by trying it with ready-made pastry dough!

Raw cinnamon rolls freshly sliced before baking.

The pumpkin butter, layered with a dusting of cinnamon and brown sugar, caramelizes during baking and infuses these rolls with the perfect amount of fall spice and pumpkin goodness. These pumpkin butter cinnamon rolls are fluffy and tender and addictively good!

They are then slathered with a decadent maple cream cheese frosting, which provides a touch of tang in every bite, and takes these rolls over the top. You can even prepare these rolls the day before serving (see recipe notes for details), which makes them ideal for holiday brunch entertaining. You’ll never look at pumpkin butter the same way again!
