Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set it aside.
Step 2: Cut the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the can of canned cinnamon rolls.
Set the frosting packet aside for later.
Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each cinnamon roll into fourths.
Place all of the cinnamon roll pieces into a large bowl.
Step 3: Add the Strawberry Filling
Spoon the strawberry pie filling into the bowl.
Gently stir until the strawberry filling evenly coats the cinnamon roll pieces.
Try not to overmix so the dough stays light and fluffy.
Step 4: Assemble
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Spread everything into an even layer using the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the center is fully cooked.
The strawberry filling will be bubbling around the edges while the tops of the rolls become beautifully golden.
Step 6: Frost
Remove the baking dish from the oven.
Immediately drizzle the included cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy.
