Recipe Notes
Keep in mind that slow cookers can differ in how they cook. The cooking time provided in the recipe is a general guideline.
As the cinnamon rolls cook, the edges become crispy while the centers remain soft and gooey just like the irresistible texture of a freshly baked roll.
Save the icing that comes in the tube of cinnamon rolls! You'll drizzle it over the cinnamon rolls right before serving.
Make it easy to pour by heating it in microwave for 10-20 seconds. Just be sure to take the metal lid or foil top off first!

Yes, you can double the recipe, but you may need a larger slow cooker to accommodate the extra volume. Be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly and monitor the rolls for doneness.
