Easy Pull-Apart Bread For Pumpkin Season

One of the best things about this pull apart cinnamon sugar pumpkin bread is that you don’t need to make any dough, wait for dough to rise, or knead dough.

You’ll be using canned biscuits and they come out absolutely delicious.

Pull apart bread is a very easy recipe and can be made in a variety of flavors for different times of the year.

This might be one of my all-time favorite pumpkin desserts. It’s sweet, pumpkin-y, filled with wonderful fall spices, and super easy to make.

It really doesn’t get simpler than that.

I’ve seen this easy pumpkin recipe in a lot of places and thought it would be fun to try and I just love it.

The icing is made with cinnamon, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream. When you add it to the dessert and then let it cool, it kind of has a touch of a crunchy texture and that makes it just perfect.

I actually made this twice and added three-fourths of a cup of pumpkin the first time. It was a little too much pumpkin in my opinion (is that possible?), so I added less the second time and I like the way it turned out.

I kinda think this is one of the best pumpkin recipes out there and has become a yearly tradition around my house.

My youngest really enjoyed the pumpkin pull-apart bread and wanted seconds. Pumpkin puree recipes are always a fun treat during the fall months.

Step-By-Step Instructions For Pull Apart Pumpkin Spice Bread

Add the canned pumpkin to a medium-sized bowl.

Next, add the sugar to the bowl. 

Pour the vanilla extract into the bowl. 

Add the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger to the mixture.

You can use the pumpkin pie spice and it will still be delicious, but I like to add the different spices to this pumpkin puree recipe.

I think the spices bring out a lot more flavor in the dessert. I almost always opt for these individual spices in fall desserts.

Mix everything together with a fork and set aside. 

Now, add the remainder of the cinnamon and sugar to a small bowl. Mix and set aside. You’ll use it in the next step.

Grab your can of biscuits. Split each individual biscuit in half, for a total of 16 biscuits.

If you have kids you’ll love this recipe because it creates 16 equal slices.

Butter each side, with melted butter, and spread a little bit of pumpkin puree mixture on top.

Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, stack, and create four piles of four biscuits and puree mix. 

Add your biscuits to a greased and floured bread pan in a long single stack and bake for approximately 45-minutes.

If the top is starting to get a little too brown, put some tinfoil over the top and let it bake the remainder of the time. 

Cinnamon Icing

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and cream to a small bowl. Mix everything together until it’s well blended.

If you’d like it thicker, add more powdered sugar. To make it thinner, add a teaspoon of cream at a time. It can get runny pretty fast, so start small.

Once the pull apart bread bakes, let it cool for about 10 minutes. You can either leave it in the pan or take the bread out to add the icing.

Pour the cinnamon glaze icing over the top until it’s covered.

You can also reserve a little of the icing and pour it over the individual pieces, as well.

Variations To The Icing

You can add different flavors to the homemade icing including maple syrup for maple glaze, orange juice for orange glaze, lemon juice, and more!

How To Store Pumpkin Bread

Store the bread in the refrigerator in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap. To reheat, place a piece on a microwave-safe plate and cook for about 20 seconds.

Add Some Variety To Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

1. Chocolate Chip Twist: Add a burst of chocolate. Fill the bread with chocolate chips and drizzle with chocolate syrup and cinnamon icing. The perfect fall treat!
2. Nutty Pumpkin Delight: Experience the crunch by packing the bread with toasted walnuts or pecans. Autumn’s best!
3. Caramel Drizzle: Dive into a sweet surprise with caramel perfection. Top with a luxurious caramel drizzle and cinnamon icing. Fall’s finest!
4. Apple Infusion: Bite into autumn with Apple-Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread. Mix in soft apple chunks, pumpkin spice, and top with cinnamon glaze. The essence of fall!
