Category: Quick Breads

4 Nature Valley pecan crunch crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box), crushed (3/4 cup)*
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 (17.5 oz each) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, coarsely chopped (about 11/4 cups)

Heat oven to 350. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix crushed granola bars, pecans and 1/2 tsp of the cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture evenly in bottom of pan.

In large bowl, mix whipping cream, brown sugar and remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Separate both cans of dough into 10 rolls; set icing aside.

Cut each roll into quarters. Stir roll pieces and apples into whipping cream mixture to coat. Spoon mixture into pan; spread evenly. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Immediately place heatproof serving plate or platter upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over (do not remove pan). Cool 5 minutes. Remove pan; scrape any remaining topping in pan onto coffee cake. Cool 5 minutes longer. Drizzle reserved icing over top. Serve warm.

Note: *To easily crush granola bars, do not unwrap; use rolling pin to crush bars.
