Cinnamon Pull aparts

Over the past few days I have been doing a lot of baking. I find baking is a big stress reliever for me, but since I am constantly trying to lose weight having a large amount of baked goods on hand is never a good idea. I put the word out that I was having a mini bake sale and these were a huge hit. Many people have been asking me how I make them, so when I was making them yesterday I decided to have my sous chef (Joey) document for me.

Use your favorite bread recipe.

Cut the bread into little balls about this big, anywhere from 18-24 of them depending on the size. They don't have to all be exact, just around the same size. Dip them in melted butter, and then give them a roll in brown sugar and cinnamon (no exact measurements, just use as much or as little cinnamon as you like, and enough brown sugar to roll in)
Toss them into a greased bundt ban. Bake for 45-50 minutes, and as soon as they're out of the oven turn them out immediately on a plate big enough. Be careful! There will be lots of syrupy goodness dripping down the size and that shit is H-O-T!
And voila! Cinnamon pull aparts. When cooled, I put Philidephia Cream Cheese icing on top (super easy recipe, just google it) and that keeps the tops soft. And they're like Pringles, you can't eat just one, which is why I don't keep them in the house. :)

I've made this plenty of times but always called it monkey brains. I used Pilsbury cresent rolls and cut each one into 4 pieces before coating with sugar. It's so yummy!
