Thelma Zieammermann - Newton, Kansas
Bake-Off® Contest 37, 1996 Prize Winner
In 1966 Thelma Zieammermann was a finalist in the Busy Lady Bake-Off® Contest. Now retired, this winner from the seventeenth contest is still busy. She created this quick pull-apart coffee cake as a delicious substitute for time-consuming pecan sweet rolls.
3/4 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 teaspoon imitation maple flavoring
2 (12-ounce) cans flaky refrigerated biscuits
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup Bundt pan or ONE-PIECE 10-inch tube pan. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except biscuits; mix well.
Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces; place in bowl with pecan mixture. Toss gently to coat. Spoon biscuit mixture into greased pan.
Bake at 350°F. for 30 to 40 minutes or until deep golden brown. Immediately invert onto serving plate; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.
