Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large zip-top bag, combine sugar and ground cinnamon.
Toss the quartered dough pieces inside the bag until thoroughly coated.
If using nuts, place them at the bottom of the greased bundt pan. Layer the coated dough pieces over the nuts.
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together, stirring until smooth.
Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the layered dough in the bundt pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
