Maple Bourbon Cinnamon Rolls

Yield: 10 servings

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup maple syrup

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup bourbon

2 heaping teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 pound maple bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 cans jumbo refrigerated biscuits, quartered, then cut in half again

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Liberally grease a Bundt pan and set aside. Place the brown sugar, syrup, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce the heat to low. Add the bourbon and cinnamon and allow to simmer 1 minute.

Meanwhile, place the bacon and biscuit pieces in the prepared Bundt pan and toss gently. Pour the sauce evenly all over the biscuit mix, then bake for 33-35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Invert onto a large serving platter and serve warm.

Note: You can pull the rolls apart or slice like you would a Bundt cake.
