Ingredients

  • 4 (6 oz.) cans buttermilk biscuits, each biscuit quartered
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 12- to 15-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.

  2. In a large Ziploc bag, combine quartered biscuits, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Seal bag, and gently shake until well coated.

  3. In a medium saucepan, cook butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is browned and has a nutty aroma, about 8 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, 2 tbsp. water, and salt; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

  4. Layer biscuit pieces, cherries, and almonds in prepared pan; slowly pour butter mixture all over.
