Quick fruited monkey bread

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cans Canned biscuits
2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
⅔ cup Sugar
¾ cup Pecans -- chopped fine
½ cup Margarine -- melted
½ cup Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dried apricots -- minced
1 tablespoon Seedless raisins -- chopped
½ teaspoon Orange peel -- grated

Directions

* Use your choice of canned biscuits, usually sold in cans of 8-10 biscuits or cans of 5 giant-sized.

1. In small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar. Mix the chopped raisins, minced apricots and chopped nuts in another bowl. Place the nut mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 10 or 12-inch oven-proof dish or pan. 2. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces; coat in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place the coated biscuits atop the nut mixture, fitting into the pan lightly. Keep stacking until all are used. 3. Melt the margarine; add the brown sugar and orange zest.

Pour this very carefully and evenly over the biscuit pieces. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes, checking after 15 minutes. 4. Invert onto serving dish immediately. Serve warm.
