1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 tubes refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 package (8oz.) cream cheese, cut into 20 cubes
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a small microwave safe bowl heat brown sugar and butter on high for 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Flatten each biscuit into a 3 inch circle. Combine cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon in the centre of each biscuit. Top with a cream cheese cube. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal tightly.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup walnuts into a 10 inch fluted tube pan coated with cooking spray. Layer with half of the biscuits, cinnamon sugar, and butter mixture and 1/2 cup of walnuts. Repeat layers.
Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

Side Note: Not a great "diet" dessert but oh so good. Worth the calories and fat. I didn't read the instructions properly (shouldn't bake after a full day of teaching LOL) but I missed the first step and didn't add the brown sugar or melt my butter. I put a 1/2 cup of walnuts into the coated pan, then half of the biscuits, some of the cinnamon sugar, because it seemed like too much, and then another 1/2 cup walnuts, the cubed butter, then the rest of the biscuits. Then I baked it for 45 minutes. Here are pictures of what it looked like hot and fresh out of the oven.
