Instructions:
-
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
- In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and granulated sugar until well combined.

Coat Rolls with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar:
- Dip each frozen dinner roll in the melted butter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Roll each butter-coated roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly covered.
-
Prepare Bundt Pan:
- Grease a 10-inch (12 cup) bundt pan or a similar ring pan to prevent sticking.
-
Layer with Almonds and Cherries:
- Sprinkle half of the almonds and half of the cherries evenly onto the bottom of the greased bundt pan.
-
Arrange Rolls in the Pan:
- Place the butter-coated rolls in the prepared bundt pan, spacing them evenly.

Prepare Syrup Mixture:

-
Drizzle with Syrup:
- Drizzle the syrup mixture evenly over the top of the rolls and fruit in the bundt pan.
-
Let Rise:
- Cover the bundt pan with a damp tea towel and let the rolls rise for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, until they have doubled in size.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Allow the baked rolls to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the pull-apart rolls.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon goodness!
Notes:
- For an extra festive touch, consider using half red and half green cherries for Christmas brunch.
