Instructions

Spray the Crock Pot: Grease a 6-quart Crock Pot thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Layer Cinnamon Rolls: Arrange the cinnamon roll quarters evenly at the bottom of the greased Crock Pot to form the base layer.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined to create a flavorful custard.
Pour Mixture: Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the Crock Pot, allowing it to soak into the rolls.
Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for a crunchy texture contrast.
Add Icing: Spoon one container of the cinnamon roll icing evenly over the mixture to add sweetness and moisture.
Cook: Cover the Crock Pot and cook on LOW heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the casserole is set, golden brown, and cooked through.
Finish: Once cooked, turn off the Crock Pot and spoon the second container of icing on top of the casserole for a rich finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy!

Use half-and-half for a creamier texture or substitute with whipping cream if preferred.
You can replace pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
Make sure to grease the Crock Pot well to make serving easier and prevent sticking.
