Cream Cheese Monkey Bread
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar(packed)
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese
2 (12-oz.) cans refrigerated biscuits (10 count)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. In a saucepan melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well; set aside.
Cut the cream cheese into 20 cubes. Press the biscuits out with your finger and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit, wrapping and sealing the dough around the cream cheese.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the nuts into the bottom of the Bundt pan. Place half of the prepared biscuits in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, pour half of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle 1/2 cup of nuts. Layer the remaining biscuits on top, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar, pour the remaining butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup nuts.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes, place a plate on top and invert.
