Can I cook this casserole on high instead of low?

You can cook Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole on high, but it may dry out quickly. If you choose high, begin checking for doneness around 1 hour and 45 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Why does my cinnamon roll casserole turn out soggy?

Sogginess usually happens when the casserole has too much liquid or the lid is opened early. Using regular-size cinnamon rolls and keeping the lid closed during the first two hours helps it set properly.

Can I prepare the casserole the night before?

You can mix the custard ahead of time, but wait to assemble the casserole until morning. Refrigerated dough absorbs liquid overnight, which changes the final texture.

Can I use Pillsbury Grands instead of regular cinnamon rolls?

Yes, but Pillsbury Grands are larger and need extra time to cook. Cut them into smaller pieces for a softer, bread-pudding-style finish.

Can I add fruit or extra mix-ins?

You can add blueberries, apples, pecans, or chocolate chips. Just avoid adding too much moisture, especially when using canned fruit.

One teaspoon vanilla extract
One tablespoon ground cinnamon
Two tablespoons melted butter
Two tablespoons maple syrup
Half cup chopped pecans (optional)

Cook Mode Keep your screen awake while you cook

Instructions

Grease the slow cooker insert with melted butter or use a liner.
Cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters and place half in the slow cooker.
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, melted butter, and maple syrup until smooth.
Pour half of the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces.
Add the remaining cinnamon rolls and pour the rest of the custard on top.
Cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours until set and edges pull away slightly.
Warm the icing packets and drizzle over the finished casserole before serving.

Notes

Avoid lifting the lid during the first two hours to prevent sogginess.
Regular-size cinnamon rolls cook more evenly than oversized versions.
For a crispier top, vent the lid during the last twenty minutes.
