Pumpkin Cheesecake Pull-Apart Bread

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pull-Apart Bread

Recipe adapted from Pillsbury.com

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
2 Tablespoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
Two -16.5 oz. containers Refrigerated Biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands – 8 count)
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup Butter
3 oz. bar Cream Cheese

Directions: In a large freezer bag, combine granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters and place them each in the bag to coat with sugar mixture. It helps to work in batches and to shake bag. Place half of the dough pieces in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan

On the stove in saucepan, melt and stir butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and cream cheese. Pour half of pumpkin mixture on the first half of dough pieces. Add the rest of the dough pieces and pour the remainder of the pumpkin mixture over top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until golden (Watch carefully as this is a guess for now). Let stand in pan for a few minutes. Serves 8.
