Equipment

  • Bundt Pan (silicone if you have it)

Ingredients

Caramel Sauce

  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1.5 sticks Butter

Instructions

Night Before

  • Lightly grease a bundt pan
  • Add the sugar and pie spice to a ziploc bag, close and shake to combine well
  • Open both cans of Pillsbury Grand biscuits, cut each biscuit into four pieces
  • In small batches (approx 8 to 10 at a time), roll each cut piece of biscuit into a ball and drop it into the ziploc bag
  • Gently shake the bag to coat the dough balls in the spiced sugar mixture
  • Remove the balls and place in the bottom of the bundt pan, spreading evenly around and repeating until all dough balls are in the bundt pan
  • Cover the bundt pan with plastic wrap and place in the fidge overnight

Morning Of

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Take the bundt pan out of the fridge and set on the counter while the oven preheats
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the brown sugar and butter and place in the microwave to melt the butter (approx 1 minute)
  • Remove the butter and sugar from the microwave and stir well, ensuring it comes together - put it back in the microwave in 15 second increments if it does not fully combine (it will be slightly gritty still)
  • Pour the butter and sugar (caramel) mixture evenly over the dough balls in the bundt pan
  • Place the pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes - check to ensure the biscuits are cooked (it may need 3 to 5 more minutes)
  • Let rest 10 minutes (this is very important) before flipping out on to a large plate or platter and serving

Notes

Note; This is easy to make the night before so you can throw it in the oven in the morning, however you can do it all at one time and make it the morning of.
We love our Penzeys Pie Spice, but if you don't have that, a combination of your favorite pie spices will work.   You can buy pumpkin pie or apple pie spice in most grocery stores.   They are typically a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.   The Penzeys Pie Spice has a distinct vanilla flavor to it.   You could add a 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the brown sugar and butter mixture to mimic that flavor.
