Overnight Orange Pull Aparts

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make this every year for Christmas morning breakfast and serve it with hot cocoa and sausage. It is SO easy and what I like best is that I can throw it together the night before and it is all ready for the next morning.

Overnight Orange Pull Aparts

12 to 16 frozen white roll dough (still frozen) (I use Rhodes dough)

1 (3.4 oz.) package vanilla instant pudding

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup dried cranberries or Craisins

1 orange rind, grated finely

½ cup butter or margarine,

melted Frosting (recipe below)

Sprinkle cranberries in the bottom of a greased bundt pan. Arrange rolls evenly in pan.Mix sugar and dry pudding together and sprinkle over rolls. Combine orange rind with melted butter and spoon over rolls. Cover pan with sprayed plastic wrap. Place pan in cold oven overnight (8 to 10 hours). Remove rolls from oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap from pan and bake for 25 min. Immediately invert pan onto a serving platter. Cool slightly and drizzle with frosting.

Frosting: 1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon melted butter

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
For a cinnamon flavored version you can use: ¾ chopped nuts in place of the cranberries 4 oz package of butterscotch pudding in place of vanilla pudding, and sugar ½ cup packed brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in place of the orange rind Then you don’t even need the frosting, but if you really want it use milk in place of the orange juice)
