Ingredients for the Bread:
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
- 2 (8 count) Pillsbury Grands Refrigerated Biscuits
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin pie mix (not pumpkin puree)
Ingredients for the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
- Mix Sugar and Spice: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. This mixture will be used to sprinkle over the biscuits for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit gently with your hands or a rolling pin to create a flat surface for spreading the filling.
- Apply Pumpkin Filling: Spread about 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin pie mix evenly over each flattened biscuit. Be sure to cover the entire surface for consistent flavor in each piece.
- Add Spice-Sugar Layer: Sprinkle the previously mixed pumpkin pie spice and sugar evenly over each biscuit after applying the pumpkin pie mix.
- Stack the Biscuits: Arrange the biscuits into 4 piles with 5 biscuits each, layering them carefully. Place the stacks in a row inside the loaf pan with the unfilled edges of the biscuits placed against the sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is a deep golden brown color.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn the loaf out onto a plate or cutting board for serving.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 to 3 teaspoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm pull apart bread. Serve immediately to enjoy the best combination of soft bread and sweet, spiced glaze.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin pie mix for optimal flavor and consistency; pure pumpkin puree lacks sweetness and spice.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more milk gradually.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting away completely.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- You can warm leftovers briefly in the microwave to refresh the bread’s softness before serving.
