Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan well. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 pieces, set icing aside.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan, then remove from heat. Whisk in brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Toss dough pieces in the butter mixture, then layer into the bundt pan, scattering optional nuts between layers.
  4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, invert onto a plate, warm the icing, and drizzle over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

If the bread feels fragile when you lift the pan, let it cool a full 10 minutes. It holds together better once the caramel firms up a bit. Leftover pieces reheat beautifully in a 15 second microwave zap.
