Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Grease a baking sheet with butter.

Open the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and place them on the greased baking sheet, leaving room for them to grow.

Pour 1 cup of heavy cream over and around the cinnamon rolls.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt to the heavy cream and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, melt 6 teaspoons of butter in the microwave.

Add 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar to the melted butter, packing it down as you measure.

Add 2 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to the brown sugar mixture and stir until combined.

If the glaze is too thick, add a little more heavy cream until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls.

Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

If you prefer a crunchy top, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
