"Fake Me Out" Monkey Bread

It's been a busy few days! I haven't had time to sit down and write or anything lately! But I have been cooking up a few different things, so be prepared for a couple new recipes :)

My first one is what I like to call Fake-Me-Out Monkey Bread... It's really easy and much less time consuming then if you had to make your own dough and what not. So here we go!

       Fake-Me-Out Monkey Bread:

  • 2 packs of Pillsbury crescent roll dough
  • 2/3 cup of butter
  • 2/3-1 cup brown sugar
  • Cinnamon

Not too many ingredients for this delicious guilty pleasure!
So to start, go ahead and preheat that oven to 375. Melt your butter completely then pour it into the bottom of a 8 (I think mine was actually a 9) inch pan. Take your brown sugar, break it up and sprinkle it all over the bottom into the butter. The sugar should soak up most of the butter, there shouldn't be a layer of butter after this step, it should be a runny sugar mixture (kind of). That's why I said 2/3-1 cup, it could even be more. I just played around with it. Then be very generous with your cinnamon and sprinkle that all over the sugar butter bottom! Next take the dough our of the wrapping, unroll it, and take scissors, a knife, or just your hands and cut each crescent triangle into three pieces (shape doesn't matter). As you cut the pieces roll them, fold them, or whatever you want and layer them into the pan. Like so...


After you fill the pan completely, I like to sprinkle just a little cinnamon over the bare tops so theres a little flavor there too! Now pop this into the oven and back until it is a nice golden brown on the top.

Then go ahead and take a plate or whatever you plan to serve it on, put it over the top of the pan, and flip it. It's now finished! And you can go enjoy this melt in your mouth cinnamon sugary goodness!
