1/4 c. butter, melted
2 cans (12.4 oz. each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls, with icing
6 eggs
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
2 t. ground cinnamon
2 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. maple syrup
Garnish:
icing, from cinnamon rolls
powdered sugar
1/2 c. maple syrup
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Pour melted butter into an un-greased 13 x 9 inch (3 qt.) glass baking dish. Separate both cans of dough into 16 rolls; set icing aside. Cut each roll into 8 pieces; place pieces over butter in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs; beat in cream, cinnamon and vanilla until well blended; gently pour over roll pieces. Sprinkle with pecans; drizzle with 1 c. syrup.
