1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour melted butter into a 9x13 inch baking dish, set aside.
3 Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 pieces and place in the prepared baking dish.
4 Whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup cream, cinnamon, and vanilla in a bowl. Pour egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls. Bake until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes.
5 Meanwhile prepare the sticky bun topping. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup butter, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until the caramel coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Keep the topping warm until the casserole comes out of the oven.
6 When the casserole is out of the oven let cool for 10 minutes. Top with sticky bun topping. Recipe developed by Nicole Irwin
