Cinnamon Pull-Aparts

This weekend was chilly and rainy.  With a toasty fire in the wood stove, I decided that we needed some comfort food to go along with the morning coffee.   So I made some Cinnamon Pull-Aparts.  This is a recipe that has gone around and around, and I really don't know who to credit for the original thought, it certainly wasn't me, but I think it warrants repeating.  Here it is:

You will need:

A Bundt pan 
Non-stick spray
3 cans of ready-made biscuits (I use the real inexpensive store brand)
1-1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tbsp cinnamon
1-1/2 sticks or 3/4 cup butter

Preheat the oven to 350.  Coat the bottom and sides of the pan with the non-stick spray.   In a small microwave bowl, melt the butter.  In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and the cinnamon, stirring well.  Open one can of biscuits and place a couple of them into the warm butter.   They will start to puff up a bit.  With a fork, take them out one by one and coat them thoroughly with the sugar mixture.  







 Lay the biscuits standing on edge around the bottom of the pan like this:







Continue until all three cans of the biscuits are in.  You can pack them in tightly if you want, they will pull apart nicely when you are done.  Pour the remaining butter over the biscuits and then pour the remaining brown sugar mixture evenly over the top.  It should look like this:






Place the pan onto the center rack of the oven.  Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, depending on your oven.  To test for doneness, they should separate nicely without being doughy if you try to pull them apart.  They should look like this:






Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.  Run a non-metallic knife or spatula around the outer and inner edges.  Place a plate on top of the pan and flip it over to remove the biscuits.  It will be all gooey and yummy like this:

They are so yummy in fact that a couple of them didn't survive long enough for the picture!  My husband thought they were wonderful with his coffee, a little pre-breakfast treat. This is a simple and relatively quick way to satisfy the cinnamon roll craving that comes in the fall, but with only a fraction of the work.  Enjoy!!
