Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury biscuits 16.3 oz. size cans, 16 biscuit rounds total
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Open cans of biscuits and cut into quarters. Place biscuit pieces into a large bowl or ziploc bag. Top with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss dough pieces with cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup nuts in the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with half of the dough pieces. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup nuts and dough pieces.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk melted butter together with brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. A thick, grainy sauce should form. Pour sauce over dough pieces and spread evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until dough pieces are completely baked. Cool 5-10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving platter and replace any dough pieces of nuts which may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Serve warm.
