Ingredients

16 breakfast sausage links
Two 12.4-ounce tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (such as Pillsbury)
Pure maple syrup, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sausage links on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Discard the parchment and line the baking sheet with a fresh piece. Lower the oven temperature to 375F.
Separate the cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing. Flatten each roll with your fingers into a 3 to 4-inch-long oval, then wrap it around a sausage link with the cinnamon-sugar side facing outward. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down, spaced about inch apart, in two rows of eight on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the rolls are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the pigs-in-a-blanket to a serving platter, drizzle with the reserved icing, and serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.
