Cinnamon Nut Loaf

By Vickie

This recipe if from a Taste of Home, Quick Cooking magazine and looked yummy and quick and easy. I hope to try it out soon on a cool autumn morning with a hot cup of spiced apple tea!

Ingredients

• 1/3 C finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/4 C sugar
• 3 TBS. butter, melted
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tubes (7 1/2 oz. each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1/2 C confectioners' sugar
• 1 TBS. milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine nuts, sugar, butter and cinnamon. Separate biscuits; flatten slightly. Place about 1/2 tsp. of nut mixture on one side of each biscuit; fold other side over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Forming 5 rows, arrange biscuits folded side down in a greased 8 x 4 x 2 inch loaf pan. Spoon remaining nut mixture over top.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 min. or until golden brown. Cool for 10 min. before removing from pan to wire rack. Combine confectioner's sugar and milk; drizzle over warm bread. cut into slices or pull apart. 8-10 servings.
