- Bake in a 425°F oven until biscuits are done.
- Turn out onto a platter and serve while hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. To enhance the taste, you could add a touch of vanilla extract to the pineapple mixture. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for added texture. This recipe is perfect for a brunch gathering alongside other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these breakfast treats warm, drizzled with a bit of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt on the side. Consider offering a hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the flavors. For a festive touch, include them in a brunch spread with other delights like Fresh Peach Upside-Down Cake or Holiday Cheer.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the treats in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for quick reheating, but the oven will keep the biscuits crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pineapple mixture and roll the biscuits in the sugar and cinnamon ahead of time. Assemble everything in the pie pan and store it covered in the refrigerator overnight. Bake them fresh in the morning for a delightful breakfast treat.

Absolutely! Frozen biscuits can work just as well. Just make sure to thaw them according to package instructions before rolling them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. The end result will still be delicious and fluffy.
What can I serve these with?
These breakfast treats are delightful on their own but can be served with a side of whipped cream or a fruit compote for added flavor. They also pair nicely with a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal or as part of a larger brunch spread.
