Ingredients

  • 1 8 count tube refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup butter melted (divided)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup pecan halves

Instructions

  • Whisk together ½ cup melted butter and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl until combined.
  • Spread all of the butter brown sugar mixture into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle about half of the pecans over the mixture.
  • Add remaining ½ cup melted butter to shallow bowl and pour cinnamon sugar into a another shallow bowl.
  • Dip each biscuit into the butter then coat in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Place biscuits on top of pecans in the bottom of the slow cooker
  • Sprinkle any leftover butter and cinnamon sugar over the tops of the biscuits.
  • Then sprinkle with remaining pecans.
  • Cook on high heat until the dough is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. You want to keep a good eye on them and make sure the edges aren’t getting too dark.
  • Run a knife along the edges of the sticky buns in the slow cooker to make sure they are loose.
  • Very carefully, invert the sticky buns all at once onto a serving platter.
  • Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the edges aren’t getting too dark.
  • You can substitute other nuts in place of pecans. Almond slices or slivers or chopped walnuts would also work well.
  • Turning over the slow cooker can be nerve wracking for some. If it makes you worry, just scoop them out with a spatula, making sure to flip them over on a plate.
