Ingredients
Biscuits
  • 1/4cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2teaspoons Penzey’s cinnamon(our preference)
  • 1can Pillsbury Grands!™ Flaky Layers biscuits(I prefer these, any will work fine)
  • 4Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2/3cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2teaspoons Water
  • 1/2teaspoon Penzey’s pure vanilla extract(our preference)
Cream Cheese Icing
  • 4ounces light cream cheese(softened)
  • 1cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2teaspoon Penzey’s pure vanilla extract
  • 2Tablespoons milk(we used Vitamin D)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 8 muffin wells with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
  3. Cut dough into 9 cubes.
  4. Toss biscuit pieces in cinnamon~sugar mixture gently to coat.
  5. In saucepan, heat butter, brown sugar and water over medium heat until it boils, stirring constantly. Cook for about 2 minutes or until brown sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Place 3 biscuit pieces into muffin well, drizzle caramel, then repeat two more times, ending up with 9 pieces in each well. Spoon remaining caramel sauce over the top and bake 10-12 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and gently push the biscuit pieces back into the muffin wells with a spoon to give them a muffin appearance. Cool for 10 minutes. Then with a fork, gently move to cooling rack. While muffins are cooling, prepare the icing.
  8. In a medium bowl beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth with a hand mixer. Add vanilla and 1 Tablespoon of milk, beating until well combined. Slowly add more milk as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Place icing into 1 quart freezer bag, snip a tiny bit of the end off and drizzle over muffins.
  9. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

*A great way to fill the freezer bag with icing is to place it into a mug or cup, fold edges over and fill.
