Instructions

Prepare the baking dish: Pour the melted butter evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish to coat and prevent sticking, which will also add rich flavor to the casserole base.
Cut and layer cinnamon rolls: Cut each refrigerated cinnamon roll into 8 pieces and spread them evenly over the buttered bottom of the baking dish, creating the base layer of the casserole.
Make the custard mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined. This mixture infuses the casserole with moisture and flavor.
Assemble the casserole: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cut cinnamon rolls in the baking dish. Then, pour 1 cup of maple syrup evenly over the entire mixture to sweeten and caramelize during baking.
Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.
Add icing topping: Once out of the oven, drizzle or spread the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls over the casserole while still warm to create a sweet, glistening finish.
