Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south.

But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Cinnamon Orange Pull-apart Bread

What can I say about this easy and yummy little recipe except it's easy and yummy! Fix this as part of breakfast or for a dessert. When I make this, we just snack on it for a few days. It's delicious right out of the oven but you can heat up a piece in the microwave for a few seconds and it's also out of this world. Just a fun and simple and good little treat!

Cinnamon Orange Pull-apart Bread



2 containers Grands biscuits
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Juice and zest of 1 orange

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan very well with cooking spray.

Sprinkle pecans in the bottom of the pan.

In a small saucepan, combine the juice, zest, sugar and cinnamon. 

Cook mixture until just boiling. Remove from heat.

Add vanilla and stir.

Open biscuit cans and dip both sides of the biscuits in the orange mixture.

Arrange dipped biscuits in the bundt pan in one circular layer. 

Pour remaining sauce over the biscuits.

Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Place a large plate on top of the pan and carefully flip the pan over.
