Place a layer of cinnamon roll pieces to cover the bottom of your slow cooker, squishing pieces together as needed to fill any gaps.
Beat eggs, whipping cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract and spices until well blended.
Pour mixture evenly over the rolls in the slow cooker.
Place any remaining roll pieces on top and spoon one packet of icing evenly over rolls.
