Spiced Monkey Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare baking dish or Bundt pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2. 2
   In a plastic baggie, quart-sized or larger, combine granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
3. 3
   Take biscuits and cut each in half. Depending on the size of the baking pan, up to 4 rolls may be required. Place biscuits, several at a time, into the baggie and coat in the sugar and spice mixture.
4. 4
   Start by placing sugared biscuits into the baking pan in a single layer. Sprinkle raisins and nuts between and on top of the biscuits. Repeat the process with remaining biscuits.
5. 5
   In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and remaining sugar-spice mixture.
6. 6
   In a microwave-safe bowl or cup, melt butter for 30-50 seconds on high. Pour butter into the bowl of sugar. Mix until well incorporated.
7. 7
   Pour butter and sugar mixture over the top of the biscuits, covering the top layer completely.
8. 8
   Place in the oven and bake for 28-32 minutes. When done baking, the top layer should be browned and have a crispy topping. Remove from the oven and let the monkey bread cool in the baking pan for 10 minutes.
9. 9
   Invert the pan onto a large plate or serving dish and allow to cool for an additional 10 minutes. Serve by pulling apart individual biscuits.
