Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz / 450 g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (about 4 g)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (220 g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (60 g)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Open refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
  4. Toss the dough pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating each piece evenly.
  5. Arrange the coated dough balls evenly in the greased bundt pan. If using nuts or add-ins like apple chunks, sprinkle them between layers.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy.
  7. Slowly pour the caramel sauce evenly over the dough balls in the pan.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Tent with foil if caramel browns too fast.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to allow caramel to set.
  10. Invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate carefully. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature dough for even cooking. Grease pan well to prevent sticking. Watch oven closely to avoid burning caramel; tent with foil if needed. Let bread rest in pan before inverting to prevent caramel from running. For gluten-free, substitute biscuit dough with gluten-free brand. For dairy-free, swap butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
