Simpler version:

This morning I used no nuts and 1/2 a recipe (with just one can of large biscuits) I cut the biscuits in half and followed the above directions but I used a pie plate instead. I used 3/4 the amount of butter/brown sugar and spread the mixture over the top of the rolls. and Baked for 18-20 minutes instead. See below....




You can eliminate the cream cheese and just roll balled dough in melted butter and then in cinnamon sugar mixture, then top with butter and brown sugar and Maple syrup instead. That's "traditional" Monkey Bread. Bake it for 30 min instead.
