Ingredients

  • 20 cinnamon rolls
  • 2 C. sugar
  • 1 Tbs. cinnamon
  • 25 eggs
  • 4 C. milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. almond extract
  • 3 C. light brown sugar
  • 3 C. pecans
  • 1 C. firm butter
  • 5 apples (optional)

Directions

Use a 17-inch cast iron skillet or use several deep dish pie plates, or loaf pans. Cut cinnamon rolls in medium size cubes. Place in large pan or bowl. Sprinkle with 1 C. sugar and 1 Tbs. cinnamon. Set aside. In a medium bowl or stand mixer with the whip attachment, add eggs and mix well. Add vanilla and almond extracts, milk and 1 C. sugar. Whip for 5 minutes on low speed. Pour mixture over the cubed cinnamon rolls and let sit for 30 minutes stirring occasionally, pressing down to soak the cinnamon rolls in the custard mixture.

Topping:

Cube cold butter into 1/2-inch cubes. Add brown sugar and pecans. MIX WELL. Sprinkle mixture over soaked cinnamon roll mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes, or until middle of pie is set.
