Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Step 2
Spray a 13 x 9 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3
In a skillet over low heat, add the butter, brown sugar and pecans, stirring well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes after the butter and brown have been thoroughly incorporated.
Step 4
Mix the granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and place the sugar mixture in a plastic sandwich size zip bag.
Step 5
Cut the cream cheese into 16 equal cubes.
Step 6
Press the biscuits out one by one with your fingers and shake in the bag. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit, wrapping and sealing the dough around the cream cheese.
Step 7
Place the biscuits in the pan and sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar mixture. Sprinkle on the nut mixture and cook for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
This becomes a more budget friendly recipe whenever you can catch the biscuits and cream cheese on sale
