Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of salted butter until it foams and turns light golden brown. Whisk in 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth, then add 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Generously grease a Bundt pan using the reserved wrappers from your butter.
Quarter the biscuit dough pieces and dip each into the caramel sauce.
Layer the dipped biscuit pieces randomly in the prepared Bundt pan and pour remaining caramel over the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. The top should spring back when touched.
Let the Monkey Bread cool for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving dish.
