INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
4 cans Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 350°F.
Spray 6-cup (9-inch) fluted tube cake pan or angel food (tube) cake pan with cooking spray.
In large food-storage plastic bag, mix granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Separate each can of dough into 8 biscuits; cut each biscuit into quarters.
Place 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in sugar-spice mixture; shake well.
Continue to add more biscuit pieces to sugar-spice mixture until all are completely coated.
Layer the biscuit pieces randomly in pan.
In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar and pumpkin over medium heat.
When mixture begins to boil, cook and stir 1 minute.
Pour over biscuits in pan.
Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool in pan 10 minutes.
Place plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan.
Serve warm.
Flavor boost—For extra pumpkin flavor, double the butter and brown sugar. Add an additional 1/2 cup of pumpkin and save 1 cup of the pumpkin-caramel mixture to drizzle over your warm bread as it comes out of the oven!
Serving Suggestions—This recipe tastes great with a cup of coffee, or a steaming hot cup of tea or a mug of hot apple cider!
you know what would cut the sweetness?
Butter Rum Sauce:
1 stick butter
1 (1-pound) box confectioners' sugar
Dark rum
In a saucepan, melt the butter and gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Add rum and heat until bubbly. Pour over each serving
well, that and serving it over french vanilla ice cream
i also had a friend who said you could smear some Nutella on that and it would taste just fine.
NOTE: This is The BEST recipe for Monkey Bread because the caramel sauce is the real deal. BUT ... I made it and I wasn't entirely thrilled and I wish I had been. (A) You really have to make sure the goo goes in and through EVERY layer of the biscuit pieces. A skewer would help. (B) DEW NOT let this get cold. You need to serve it right out of the oven and it only reheats about once.
