The recipe keeps the ingredient list short and the assembly straightforward. Each sausage piece is wrapped in a strip of cinnamon roll dough, then baked until done and golden brown.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Maple sausage and cinnamon rolls make a combination that lands right between breakfast and a sweet snack. The sausage is cooked through before it is wrapped, so the oven step focuses on baking the cinnamon roll dough around each piece.
These bites also use the icing included with the cinnamon rolls in two ways. A drizzle goes over the finished bites, while the remaining icing is served alongside for dunking.
They are easy to portion because every sausage link is cut in half before wrapping. That gives the cinnamon roll dough a small piece of sausage to wrap around for each bite.

Ingredients You'll Need
This recipe starts with one can of cinnamon rolls. The rolls are flattened and cut into 4 inch strips, creating the dough pieces that wrap around the sausage.
A pack of maple sausage links supplies the savory center. Cook the links all the way through first, then cut each one in half before assembling the bites.
The icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls finishes the recipe. Use part of it over the baked bites and keep the rest ready for dunking when serving.
How To Make It
Start by cooking the sausage links completely, then let the assembly move one piece at a time. The sausage is cut, the cinnamon rolls are shaped into strips, and each strip is wrapped around one sausage piece before everything goes onto the cookie sheet.
Preparation
Roll out the cinnamon rolls and cut the dough into 4 inch strips. Place one piece of sausage at the end of a dough strip, then roll the cinnamon roll dough around the sausage piece.
Repeat with the remaining sausage and dough strips. Place all of the wrapped bites on a greased cookie sheet.
Cooking
Place the cookie sheet in a 350°F oven. Bake the Cinnamon Roll Pigs in Blankets for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are done and golden brown.
Once they are out of the oven, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll can over the tops of the bites. The golden brown dough and icing are the final finish before serving.
Serving & Variations
Serve the bites with the remaining cinnamon roll icing for dunking. The drizzle on top and the extra icing alongside make the included icing part of both the finish and the serving step.
For the cleanest assembly, keep each sausage piece at the end of its 4 inch cinnamon roll strip before rolling it up. That follows the recipe's wrap-and-bake method and keeps every bite built around a piece of sausage.
