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
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 8 muffin wells with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
- Cut dough into 9 cubes.
- Toss biscuit pieces in cinnamon~sugar mixture gently to coat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
