Notes

Full fat cream cheese will give you richer, creamier filling than low fat cream cheese. Let it come to room temperature on the counter so it mixes smoothly.
While you want to fill the rolls generously, you also don't want to grossly overfill them. If you fill them too full the filling will spill out over the rolls.
You can make these with almost any canned fruit pie filling though I wouldn't do this with pumpkin pie filling. However apple, blueberry, or raspberry would work real well.
