Preheat the oven and place one tube of cinnamon rolls in to bake as a snack.

Cut the cinnamon rolls into six pieces each instead of four due to their larger size.

Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Place half of the cut cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they cover the bottom.

Prepare the custard mixture by cracking 4 eggs into a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 3 teaspoons maple syrup to the eggs and whisk together until combined.

Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the slow cooker, ensuring it soaks through the rolls.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
