Ingredients

For the Caramel Apple Sauce

  • 2 cups apples 2-3 apples cored and chopped into medium size pieces.
  • cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup half and half

For the Bread

  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 cans Buttermilk Biscuits I used Pillsbury Grands
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup pecans chopped

Instructions

To Make the Caramel Apple Sauce

  • Put the apple pieces in a medium pot with the brown sugar, butter and Half and Half and cook over medium heat until the butter has completely melted and the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Turn heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes minimum until it starts to thicken. You want the caramel sauce to coat the back of a spoon, continue to simmer if need be until enough moisture from the apples evaporates.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

To Make the Bread

  • Pour the melted butter into a Bundt pan and with a pastry brush or your fingers make sure to coat all surfaces.
  • Open the biscuit tubes and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces each (I stacked 5 at a time and quartered them with a chef's knife).
  • Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl and add the cutup biscuit pieces (I did a third at a time). Toss just enough to coat the pieces with the sugar mixture.
  • Put the chopped pecans in the bottom of the Bundt pan and pour 1/4 cup of the Caramel Apple sauce over the nuts.
  • Fill the Bundt pan with 1/3 of the biscuit pieces; approximately 20 pieces. Pour 1/2 of the Caramel Apple syrup over the biscuits and scatter 1/2 of the apples on top.
  • Fill with another 1/3 of the biscuits and repeat with the syrup and apples. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces.
  • Cover the Bundt pan with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet with sides. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes (helps to insure the biscuits bake all the way through). Remove the foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes until nicely browned.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-12 minutes. Carefully turn the bread out of the pan onto a large plate. Serve warm.
