Overnight Recipe

What’s great about these Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Pull-Aparts is they are made the night before, refrigerated overnight, and then baked in the oven for about 25 minutes. (You do need to let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.)

Because you can do all the work the day before, they are perfect for a fall weekend breakfast or a holiday brunch.

Yeast Dough

The dough itself is made with yeast and sweetened with a little brown sugar. Pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon are added to the dough for flavoring. The dough gets rolled out and cut into squares and placed in a baking dish on top of a delicious buttery pecan mixture with honey and lots of brown sugar.
