Crockpot Doughnuts

1 can biscuits

1 c. light or dark brown sugar

1 T. cinnamon

1/2 stick butter, melted

powdered sugar, optional

chopped pecans, optional

Grease bottom of crockpot with the butter, or use liner. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Cut biscuits into quarters and toss in sugar mixture. Place in crockpot. Cover with paper towels and cook on high for 2 hours. Cool for 3 minutes, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

I doubled the recipe, used a liner, placed all the cut up biscuits in the bottom of crockpot, (after rolling in the cinnamon sugar mixture), poured remaining sugar mixture over top and poured melted butter over top. I did not use the pecans, but if I did, this is where I would add them. I placed the paper towels under the lid, not on top of the biscuits, to keep moisture off the biscuits and ensure a tighter seal. Cool for 3 minutes before serving. I did not dust with powdered sugar. Every one loved them!

This is a lot like my pull apart bread that's baked in the oven.
