Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the baking dish reaches the ideal temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and evenly arrange them in the prepared baking dish, creating a base layer.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon thoroughly to form a rich, buttery topping.
- Pour Topping Over Rolls: Evenly pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the quartered rolls, allowing the flavors to soak in during baking.
- Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, if using.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Add Icing: Once baked, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon rolls over the cobbler while warm for extra sweetness and gooey finish.
Notes
- Use fresh cinnamon rolls for the best flavor if you prefer homemade over canned.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans entirely or substitute with seeds.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon sugar mixture for an extra layer of spice.
