You’ll be missing out if you don’t get in on this tasty cinnamon roll casserole recipe!

Ingredients

  • 12oz. can refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls with Icing

For pumpkin pie filling:

  • 1 ¾ cup (1–15 oz. can) pumpkin puree
  • 1 ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • 2 large (or 3 small) eggs slightly beaten
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Pecan streusel topping:

  • ½ cup + 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
  • ½ cup+ 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tbsp. butter-melted and cooled
  • ½ cup pecans-chopped (reserve a few pecan halves for garnish on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease 7 x 11 inch glass or ceramic dish with non-stick spray.
  2. To make the topping, in a bowl stir together the flour, sugar and pecans. Then, add melted butter and stir with the fork until all evenly moistened and created pea size crumbs. Set in the fridge until ready to use.
  3. Now make the filling. In a bowl combine all filing ingredients and whisk well until smooth and evenly combined, set aside.
  4. Open the tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and separate the rolls on lightly floured working surface. Cut each roll in small ½ inch pieces. Arrange the pieces in single layer to cover the bottom of greased casserole.
  5. Pour the filling over the cinnamon roll layer. Sprinkle half of the streusel on top and reserve remaining mixture for later.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until it rise and form a slightly firmed layer on top. At that point take it out from the oven, sprinkle remaining streusel and arrange a few pecan halves on top for garnish. Bake for 10-15 minutes more, until the knife inserted in the center comes out wet but clean. Do not overbake(complete baking time should be about 40-45minutes)
  7. Cool about 25 minutes before drizzle the icing.
