Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, diced apples, or raisins
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Open the cinnamon roll cans and set aside the icing. Cut each roll into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
3. In one bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
4. Dip each cinnamon roll piece in melted butter, then coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Layer the coated pieces into the greased bundt pan. Sprinkle in optional nuts or fruit between layers if using.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
7. Let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then invert it onto a serving plate.
8. Warm the reserved icing slightly and drizzle over the top before serving.
Notes
Don’t skip greasing the bundt pan well to prevent sticking.
Let the bread cool slightly before inverting for the perfect release.
Slightly warming the icing before drizzling ensures smoother coverage.
