Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by lightly greasing it with cooking spray and placing 1/4 cup of butter (half of a stick) in it. Put this in the oven while it preheats just until the butter melts.
1/2 cup butter
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter. Sprinkle pecan pieces on top of that. Set aside.
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, 1 cup pecans
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and white sugar. Set aside. Cut cold cream cheese into 24 small cubes and set aside.
1 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 8 ounces cream cheese
Divide each biscuit into two layers. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each layer and fold the biscuit dough around it, pressing to seal the cream cheese in. Roll each cream cheese-filled dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them close together on top of the pecans in the cake pan. Repeat until the pan is full.
15 Grands Jr biscuits
Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough balls. Cut the remaining butter up into small pieces and scatter over the top of all of this.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning out.
