Pull Aparts

This recipe started when I was about 12 years old. It's an adaptation of something taught in home economics during middle school. My family loved it so much when I made it at home that over the years, it became our traditional Christmas morning breakfast.

The idea, that I started a tradition in my family at such a young age, seems weird to me. Granted I haven't hit the 3-0 yet, but still to look back and know that my kids will be eating something I made, kind of freaks me out a little right now.

The ingredients are simple which is probably why after unwrapping all the gifts this is the easiest breakfast, besides a bowl of cereal. As an adult waking up at the crack of dawn doesn't seem appealing anymore. The gifts will still be there at 1pm vs. 6am, sleep is more important at this age in my view. My family is spread throughout most of Pennslyvania and getting home for the holidays can sometimes be very difficult along with timing for logistically opening gifts at the same time.  So this makes the holiday morning a little bit easier.

Recipe

Pre-time: 20 minutes

Servings: 3-5

Ingredients

1 container of Grands biscuits

2 TBSP of brown sugar

4 TBSP of melted butter

2 TBSP of Cinnamon

1/2 container of Pillsbury Icing (I used the cinnamon icing)

Instructions

Set oven to 350 degrees. 

Cut the Grands into cubes, I usually do 4ths. 

Melt butter and mix in brown sugar and cinnamon.

Add Grands to sugar mixture, making sure to coat well. Place in a greased pie pan and place in the oven for 12-18 minutes until desired crispness is reached. The center takes the longest to cook, when removing from oven make sure that the pieces are thoroughly cooked before serving. If the center is not finished place back in the oven for an additional 3-5minutes.

Once fully cooked cover with Icing while still hot. Let cool and serve. Delicious bite size treat for any special occasion with simple ingredients.
