Variations:

• Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Rolls: My favorite variation is to make slow cooker apple cinnamon rolls.  To create this recipe, add a layer of diced up apples after the first layer of the cinnamon rolls.  The addition of the apples creates a delicious apple cinnamon flavor that no one can resist.
• Banana Cinnamon Rolls: Another variation is to add ½ cup of brown sugar to the top prior to the icing. Then top with sliced bananas you can even add in chopped pecans for added flavor.  This brown sugar and banana combination adds a delicious flavor to this crockpot cinnamon roll casserole.
• Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream: You can make this recipe with heavy cream instead of milk.  Just substitute have cream or heavy whipping cream in place of the milk. The heavy whipping cream adds a nice creamy flavor in this easy recipe.
• Cinnamon Rolls with Nuts: We like having nuts in our cinnamon rolls. You can sprinkle your nuts in so they bake right in or you can sprinkle a few on top. Either way, these Cinnamon Rolls will be the top requested breakfast, I am sure of it.

• Step 4 – After that, place one of the rolls of cinnamon rolls (already cut up) in the bottom of the crock pot.

Expert Tips:

• Paper Towel – If you problems with moisture on the top of the cinnamon rolls. Place a paper towel over the top of the slow cooker and top with lid.
• Cooking Spray – For best results, make sure to spray cooking spray in the slow cooker before layering it with ingredients. This helps for an easy cleanup and serving the cinnamon rolls.
• Combining Milk Ingredients – Combine the ingredients together in a bowl with a hand mixer, stand mixer or a whisk. This ensures everything is combined thoroughly.
