Cinnamon Pull Apart

In this house, we love anything that includes cinnamon, sugar and bread. So when I saw this pin I knew that a Cinnamon Pull Apart needed to be put at the top of the “to bake” list.

The original pin from Deanna uses an amazing looking homemade dough recipe. As you may have realized already ~ I like to take shortcuts in my cooking adventures. So I grabbed a container of pizza dough and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.

I rolled our the dough and coated it liberally with cinnamon and sugar.

Then I rolled it all up…

cut it into two inch sections and placed the sections in a medium, greased baking dish.

Then I topped the whole thing with more cinnamon and sugar goodness.

After baking in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 they turned out crispy and golden.

This was a quick, fun take on the cinnamon pull apart recipe. Drizzle with icing sugar and you have the perfect breakfast/dessert/snack?!

Next time I would use homemade dough or maybe biscuit dough? The pizza dough was a bit blah. So I give this recipe three spoons out of five.

Hello Pinspired Recipe Readers!

I’m Leslie and I’m so pleased to be contributing to Pinspired Recipes. Heather and I “met” each other a while ago and bonded over the fact that we’re both Canadian bloggers (a rarity I feel) and even better we live in the same Province! So when I saw that she had started up this blog I emailed her right away ~~begging~~ asking her if I could come join the party.

And since in Canada we are in FULL ON pumpkin mode

I chose to make these Pumpkin Creamcheese Muffins from my “Things To Make” board.

I had a larger can of pumpkin than the recipe called for. So my muffins were a little heavy on the pumpkin side.

I’ll explain a little more later.

This is one of those recipes where you have to mix

the dry and wet separately (read dirtying two bowls).

It’s a nice thick batter that you spoon into the muffin tins.

I like that.

Same with the cream cheese topper. I liked that you didn’t have to skimp on the cream cheese in this recipe. I had plenty of of the second cream cheese batter to put on top of the muffins!

Favourite part? Swirling!

Anything that involves swirling makes it more delicious.

I topped some of the muffins with crushed pecans.

I highly recommend it. Next time I might even candy the pecans first and then put them on top!

So because I was a little heavy with the pumpkin these muffins are quite dense, they almost seem underbaked (they’re not!)

Next time I will definitely use the right amount of pumpkin.

Even so I still give my dense muffins a 4 out of 5 spoons.
