Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 32 oz refrigerated biscuit dough about two 16-oz cans
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.9 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.55 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.4 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt optional, balances sweetness

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan.
  • Cut biscuit dough into bite-size pieces, about 4 per biscuit.
  • Stir granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss dough pieces to coat; shake off excess.
  • Layer half the coated dough in the pan. Sprinkle with half the pecans, if using.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar, vanilla, and salt; simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and smooth.
  • Pour half the warm caramel over the dough in the pan. Add remaining dough and nuts. Pour on remaining caramel.
  • Bake 30–38 minutes until deep golden and bubbling in the center.
  • Cool 10 minutes. Invert onto a plate. Let set 5 minutes, then pull apart and serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Swap pecans for walnuts, or add 1 tsp orange zest to the caramel. For a dessert finish, drizzle with a quick cream cheese glaze. Storage: Wrap leftovers and keep at room temperature 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days; warm briefly before serving.
