Cinnamon Roll Wrapped Sausage with Maple Dipping Sauce

 

Ingredients

1 can (17.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with Icing (Grands- but can use two of the smaller size ones in place of that if desired) 

10 fully cooked pork or turkey sausage links (from 9.6 oz pkg) (more if needed)

10 toothpicks 

1/3 C maple flavored syrup

Directions

1) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Separate dough into 5 rolls. (if using the grands rolls). Spray thin, serrated knife with cooking spray. On a work surface, slice each roll horizontally in half, making 10 rolls (respray knife and reshape dough if necessary). 

2) Wrap 1 roll around each sausage link. Secure with toothpick (if needed). Bake, toothpick side down, 12-15 minutes or until sausage links are hot and roll is light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. 

3) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix icing and syrup until blended. Microwave on medium (50%) 20 seconds or until warm. Serve with warm cinnamon roll wrapped sausages.

With this I used regular cinnamon rolls (not grands) so I got a lot more out of it. Two cans of 8 cinnamon rolls each gave me 32 sausage wrapped cinnamon rolls. Because of this I also doubled the dipping amount since I was using two icing packs instead of one. I also drizzled the dip over the rolls once they were done cooking and they came out great. You can save any left over dip in a sealed container for later use (if you have any sausage rolls left over as well) This was definitely a family favorite.
