Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 25 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as bundt®) with cooking spray.
• place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat.
• melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. remove saucepan from heat.
• mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time and shake until well coated. pour any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into brown sugar mixture. place saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
• sprinkle 1/4 the bacon pieces in the bottom of the tube pan; pour in about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture. arrange 1 layer of biscuit pieces in the tube pan; sprinkle in 1/4 the bacon pieces. drizzle about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces. continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a drizzle of brown sugar mixture.
• bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. allow to cool in pan, 10 to 20 minutes; invert a serving plate.
