Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cans ( 16.3-oz.) Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a one-piece 12-cup or larger tube pan.
  2. In a large plastic food storage bag, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Separate the biscuit dough into 16 biscuits, and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
  3. Shake the biscuit pieces up in the bag to coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and layer in the greased pan. If you're adding chopped nuts and/or dried fruit, sprinkle them among the pieces as you layer. Note that the pan will not be filled to the top, but the biscuits will expand while baking, almost doubling in size.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar and vanilla until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and then pour over top of the biscuit pieces in the tube pan.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 32-35 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn upside down on to serving plate, and serve warm.
