¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup butter

Step 2

Unroll and separate biscuits; cut each portion into four or six pieces, depending on your preference. Spray cut biscuits with cooking spray to coat.
Step 3

Pour white sugar into gallon-size resealable plastic bag; add biscuits to bag, seal bag, and shake to coat.
Step 4

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir brown sugar and vanilla into the melted butter to dissolve the sugar. Pour butter mixture into the prepared tube pan. Sprinkle chopped pineapple evenly around the pan atop the butter mixture; top with sugar-coated biscuit dough.
Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes; let cook in pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.

Tips

Cook's Notes:

You can just use all brown sugar here if you'd like, but use less if you prefer your treats less sweet.

Before coating your biscuit pieces in the sugar, you can use melted butter in place of cooking spray, which is the way I prefer it, but the cooking spray will be less fattening.

Other fruits will work, too. Try apples, mango, peach, or pear. Pear should be sauteed a bit first, as it can be very hard and gritty.

Made this for a friend who loves pineapple anything! I changed up the recipe a bit by using jumbo flake biscuits and used crushed pineapple instead. Also I went with other reviewers tips and poured some of the brown sugar glaze and pineapple in between the layers of biscuits.. Very tasty and moist. (Even made a toasted coconut dip on the side for a little piña colada taste!) Read More

The topping of pineapple brown sugar and butter was delicious but below the top layer the sugar coated biscuits weren't so good. It was a little dry. If I make it again I'll add a butter-brown sugar mixture throughout all the biscuits Read More

yummy variation of the usual monkey bread or the pineapple upside down cake. I like that it isn't as sweet as a cake would be. Using dough in a canister makes this very easy. Read More

I made this and it turned out great! I put a couple dashes of cinnamon in the white sugar before tossing the dough chunks. I also drained out as much liquid as I could from the pineapple. I loved all 900 calories of it!!!! Read More
