Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Hi everyone!  Well gee, I have another recipe for you but forgot to take a picture of all of the ingredients that you will need to make this one, sorry.  Here is another recipe that I found on Pinterest, you can view the original recipe HERE.

First off you will need to grease a 9"x13" baking dish.  Then you will need to separate your cinnamon rolls out, like you see below.

Then cut eight of the rolls into fourths and put around in your pan.

Then cut the remaining eight rolls into eight pieces and sprinkle those around the other ones in the pan.

Now mix together your eggs, melted butter, cream, cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup.

Pour over your prepared cinnamon rolls.

I went ahead and sprinkle whole pecans on the top instead of chopping them.

Here they are in the oven ready to come out.

Now take the little icing containers and drizzle the icing over the casserole.  I just let my icing sit on the counter top and didn't bother with microwaving them and the icing drizzled just fine.

Here is the finished casserole.

Now I like cinnamon rolls ALOT but I'm not really crazy about packaged cinnamon rolls.  Both of my daughters and their boyfriends cleaned this up in one morning, so they really liked it.  Now this recipe would be very easy to halve, if you needed less.  So give it a try and see what your verdict is on this casserole.
