Easy Homemade Cinnamon Twists bring together the buttery flakiness of puff pastry and the warm sweetness of cinnamon sugar for a treat that tastes straight from a bakery display. These twists puff beautifully in the oven, developing golden layers with crisp edges and soft, tender centers. They’re wonderfully simple to make, yet the result looks and tastes impressively indulgent.
The magic lies in how effortlessly puff pastry transforms. With just a brush of butter and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, each strip becomes a perfectly caramelized twist. Optional additions like cream cheese filling or a sweet glaze can dress them up even further, turning a quick recipe into something truly special.
These twists are ideal for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or a cozy afternoon snack. They pair beautifully with coffee, hot chocolate, or a warm cider. Because the preparation is so quick, they’re also perfect for hosting—your kitchen will fill with the scent of cinnamon in minutes, and guests will think you spent far more time than the recipe requires.
