Turn Canned Biscuits Into A Pumpkin-Cinnamon Treat With Just A Few Pantry Staples

Fall is a busy season, and marks the advent of longer work days, less daylight, and changing weather. After battling traffic on the way home, many people don't really have the time to devote to preparing a homemade dinner and dessert. If that stress sounds familiar to you, you're going to love this pumpkin-cinnamon dessert shortcut made with canned biscuits and a few pantry staples that will fill your home with the aroma of warming spices and sweet frosting.

To make a fall-inspired, pumpkin-flavored version of this super easy cinnamon pull-apart bread, you'll need 1 can of biscuits, 1 cup of pure pumpkin puree, 1 cup of white sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. For the glaze or frosting, you'll just need ½ cup of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. 

Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and greasing a loaf pan. Then whisk together the pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, egg, and half of the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix up the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Cut each biscuit in half lengthwise and dip it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then spread the pumpkin mixture between each biscuit half. Place each one upright in your loaf pan, stacking and layering each biscuit against the other in an offset pattern across the dish. When the pan is full, pop it in the oven for around 30 minutes. When you take it out, let it cool a bit, and then drizzle it with a glaze made from whisking the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk together.

Part of the fun of this easy fall dessert recipe is that it's so simple to customize it with add-ins and toppings. For example, consider following some of our expert tips to bake the absolute best pumpkin bread: Coat the biscuits in browned butter before baking, don't skimp on the spices, and serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream.

To incorporate another classic fall flavor, add apples to the dessert. Dice a green and red apple and coat the chunks with cinnamon and sugar to create a topping for the bread. As it bakes, the apples will cook and soften, releasing sweet juices into the dessert. Or, make a streusel-like topping by mixing brown sugar, melted butter, and flour together until it's crumbly. Then gently press it into the top of the biscuit loaf before baking.

You can also play around with different ingredients to add to the pumpkin mixture before putting it in between each biscuit. Adding chocolate chips is a fast way to make pumpkin chocolate bread, while pecans or walnuts will give the dessert a savory taste and crunchy texture. Instead of making a classic glaze, create a rich coffee glaze, or blend some cream cheese and maple syrup together to make a frosting to spread on the bread as soon as it's out of the oven.
