Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, and truth be told, it might taste even better the next day. Make it the evening before, cool it, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Reheat slowly in the oven until warm.

Will the canned icing work for this?

Absolutely. The canned icing melts into a glossy top that many families love. If you want an extra-special touch, beat in a little cream cheese or a splash of milk to loosen it before drizzling.

Can I use a different brand of cinnamon rolls?

Yes. You can use another tube of cinnamon rolls, but I think Pillsbury gives the most consistent texture. If you use a different brand, cut the rolls the same way and watch the cooking time closely.

What if my center is still gooey after 3 hours?

Crock pots vary. If the center is underdone, put the lid back on and cook for another 15 to 30 minutes on low. Avoid turning to high to rush it, as that can overcook the edges.

How should I serve for company?

Serve warm from the casserole with extra icing on the side and a pot of coffee. Set napkins and forks within reach and encourage everyone to help themselves. The best gatherings are the ones where dishes are shared.

Open your cans of cinnamon rolls and save the icing for later.
Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the cut cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls slowly so all pieces are covered.
Use a mixing spoon to ensure rolls are evenly coated.

Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, checking for doneness at 2 hours.
Once cooked, drizzle remaining icing over the top and let sit for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use real butter and full-fat milk. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
