Key Lime Pie Cinnamon Rolls


     In the time it takes you to zest a couple of limes and whack open a tube of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls you can make these out of this world delicious Key Lime Pie Cinnamon Rolls.  Another convenient recipe, all you have to do is unroll the dough, sprinkle with the filling, reroll and bake.  Also, cutting the rolls with a serrated knife helps to hold them together.  I actually found a bag of key limes in my grocery store but you could substitute regular limes and they would be equally good.  In my 10 inch dutch oven they baked for 20 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the base of the oven and 22 on the lid.  Make a double batch if you can, these are so tasty everyone will be lined up for seconds.
