You can store leftover pull apart cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Because the rolls contain cream cheese icing, you should not store them at room temperature. To reheat leftover cinnamon rolls, place them in an air fryer at 400°F for 3 minutes, or in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
