Ingredients Needed

Canned Biscuits: I used the Pillsbury Grand biscuits, a great base. You can use a different brand if you prefer.
Pumpkin Puree: Canned pumpkin will give your bread that creamy filling between the layers of biscuits.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar will add a caramel-like flavor and sweeten up the pumpkin mixture.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: Add some pumpkin pie spice to help add warm, spiced flavor to each bite.
Butter: The butter is going to richen up the flavor tremendously.
Powdered Sugar: If your sugar is lumpy, use a sifter to remove lumps for a smooth, creamy glaze.
Maple Syrup: Sweeten the glaze and add a maple flavor.
Milk: The milk will help to thin up the glaze recipe so that it will add richness.
Vanilla: A splash of vanilla is used to help develop glaze flavors.

Tips For Success

When you mix the pumpkin filling, be careful not to overmix it. You want it to stay light and fluffy.

When stacking the biscuits in the pan, do even layers of filling and biscuits to get an even layer of flavors in each bite.

Do not overbake, or it will dry out the biscuits and filling.

Drizzle on the glaze while the bread is still warm so it melts into the bread a bit.

You can use parchment paper to line your loaf pan to make it easier to clean up.

Can You Use Any Type of Biscuit Dough?

Using a flaky biscuit is best, as it will separate into layers, elevating the texture and balancing the flavors even more in this pull-apart dessert.

Is Pumpkin Pie Filling the Same As Pumpkin Puree?

No, pumpkin pie filling is made with more ingredients and can not be substituted for pumpkin puree in this recipe. It would lack and cause the dough to become mushy.
