- Spoon the mixture evenly into 10 greased cups of a 12-cup muffin pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using fresh pineapple instead of canned for a brighter flavor. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute half the brown sugar with applesauce. Ensure the biscuits are placed gently on the pineapple mixture to avoid spilling. These buns can also be made using gluten-free biscuits for those with dietary restrictions, allowing everyone to enjoy this treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pineapple buns warm, drizzled with a bit of honey for extra sweetness. They pair wonderfully with a cup of Annie'S Spiced Tea Mix(Makes 2 Quarts Mix) for a cozy afternoon treat. For a full breakfast experience, consider serving alongside scrambled eggs or a fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pineapple buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This method helps maintain the bun's texture compared to microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with other fruits like peaches or cherries. Just ensure they are well-drained if using canned fruit, or adjust the sugar level accordingly if using fresh fruit, as some fruits may not be as sweet.
What can I do if I don't have a muffin pan?
If you lack a muffin pan, consider using a baking dish instead. Pour the pineapple mixture into the dish, then place the biscuits on top. Adjust the baking time, checking for doneness, as it may take a bit longer to bake in a larger dish.
Can these buns be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the buns in the muffin pan, cover them tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra couple of minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the fridge.
