Pull-Apart Monkey Bread

I find the old tried and true recipe for monkey bread is better if you use the cinnamon rolls.



Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon (to taste)
1 teaspoon of flour
2 cans of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
1/2 cup chopped walnuts and/or raisins (if desired)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 sticks butter/margarine

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350

Open cans of cinnamon rolls (I hate those pressurized cans ... POP ... freaks me the hell out).  Separate rolls and cut into fourths.

In a large Ziploc bag mix granulated sugar, cinnamon and flour thoroughly.  Add cut up roll pieces and shake, coating thoroughly with the mixture.  Add walnuts and/or raisins at this point and mix well.  Liberally coat a Bundt cake pan with cooking spray and then even fill with your cinnamon roll mixture.

Melt butter/margarine on stove top and mix in brown sugar until smooth.  Pour over the top of the cinnamon roll mixture.

Bake for 28-32 minutes or until golden brown and not doughy.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes, turn over on a plate and serve warm.  


I'm going to tag this one to the side for next time I make this and see how it comes out after some minor tweaking.
