Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough 16 oz each
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • ½ cup raisins optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously.
  • Cut biscuit dough into quarters.
  • Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss dough pieces until evenly coated.
  • Layer coated dough into the prepared bundt pan, sprinkling in nuts and raisins if desired.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together, stirring until smooth. Pour over dough.
  • Bake 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
  • Cool for 5–10 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm and pull apart.

Notes

Let cool slightly before flipping to avoid hot caramel spilling.
Add a drizzle of cream cheese glaze for extra indulgence.
For a savory version, swap sugar for garlic butter and cheese.
