5 Ingredient Puff Pastry Pineapple Upside Down Cinnamon Rolls are full of ooey gooey, buttery caramel sauce, cinnamon, and that familiar pineapple upside down flavor.

Rich, buttery caramel and juicy pineapple top these 5 Ingredient Puff Pastry Pineapple Upside Down Cinnamon Rolls. Easy and delish, this may just be your new favorite treat!

If a cinnamon roll and a pineapple upside-down cake had babies, this would be it. This sweet pastry roll is rich and decadent.

Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? I’m not sure, but it’s good and I’m pretty sure you’re going to be wanting to eat it all the time!

Anytime you mix brown sugar and butter and cook it, you’ll get a caramel sauce. The good thing about this one is you don’t have to stand over the stove stirring. This is a self-made sauce that bakes as the pastry bakes. When you flip over the cinnamon rolls onto a serving dish, the caramel sauce sinks down into each hole and hollow filling it with caramel goodness.

5 Ingredient Puff Pastry Pineapple Upside Down Cinnamon Rolls

By using puff pastry, I cut the prep time down to minutes. Puff pastry is so good in many desserts. I, personally, don’t want to spend hours and hours making a puff pastry when the store-bought ones are so perfect.

These rolls hav all the wonderful flavors of the traditional Pineapple Upside Down Cake but with the added flavor of cinnamon rolls. These rolls have a caramelized top layer, thanks to the butter and brown sugar. The cinnamon roll portion of this dessert is super moist, buttery, flaky and practically melts in your mouth!

Sweet pineapple and that cherry give almost a tropical flare. I’m totally hooked on this flavor combination.
