You can store your fresh cinnamon rolls for a couple of days by covering them with foil and storing them at room temp. Cinnamon rolls will last for another week if you cover them with foil/plastic wrap and refrigerate them. Alternatively, you can freeze them and they’ll last up to 6 weeks!

Whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush the top of the dough square with the melted butter for the filling then sprinkle the brown sugar mix over the top. You can also sprinkle on raisins as well.
