Orange Cranberry Pull-Apart Coffee Cake

Submitted by PaulaG

"The idea for this recipes comes for Mary Tallman of Arbor Vitae, WI. Her recipe was printed in May/June 2007 TOH--Simple and Delicious. I changed from lemon to orange, used cranberries and pecans and reduced the amount of glaze. So easy and so delicious."

Excellent! Big hit at my house. The only thing i might change would be to chop up the cranberries to disperse them more evenly throughout. Definitely a keeper!

Made for ZWT4...WOW!!! We loved this. I made it for a test run this morning. My daughter wants me to make it for breakfast tuesday morning after her birthday sleepover. She wants me to make changes though. She wants peaches and pineapple instead of the craisins and pecans. Then use peach juice in the glaze. Also use splenda for the sugar. I will let you know how it turns out.

Really amazing flavor for such a simple prep !! Made for Recipe Swap #14. I am NOT the earlier riser, so fixed this for dessert, after light "supper" of omelets and bacon. Planned to reheat for tomorrow's breakfast, but 2 of us really chowed down on this tasty treat ! My daughters and their families spend the weekend on occasion, and this will be perfect for their breakfast - and know they will all enjoy it. Thanks, Paula, for posting such a surprising morning meal.

Wonderful! I used some orange flavored cranberries in this and fresh squeezed orange juice in the glaze. This makes the perfect amount for a Sunday breakfastin my house. 10 servings??? Well, we get 3 in our house (LOL)

This is wonderful! We had it this morning (Christmas morning) and it tasted like Christmas. We loved how the sugar carmelized on the biscuits and the pecans. I am leaving this on my Christmas menu for next year too! Thanks so much for a simple but amazing recipe!
