I prepared this recipe for my family this morning! Cranberry-orange is one of my mother's favorite flavor combinations and this was a quick and easy way to prepare a freshly baked pastry for her. She loved it! (And so did the rest of the family) I substituted pecans for walnuts. Next time I am going to follow the basic recipe to create cherry-almond rolls with cream cheese iced sweet rolls. I also thought about using caramel rolls with dried apricots. I would say that the topping was almost too sweet, so in the future I will use either honey or brown sugar - but not both.

Loved this! I have always liked the orange cinnamon rolls, so these were perfect for us! I will definitely make them again. I used pecans instead of walnuts.

I made this for our Christmas morning breakfast, everyone loved it and it was decided that this is now a family tradition for holiday mornings. I doesn't get much better than this!

I loved this, I have made it a couple of times. I cut my cinnamon rolls in half and half again and place it in a pie dish. It looks really pretty, and it gives smaller portions. Because let me tell you this will be gone fast. Great for any time of day!!!
