Almond Vanilla Pull-Apart Ring

Looking for a special breakfast or brunch dish, or perhaps a sweet treat for your kids on a cold winter day? Look no further. This recipe is one of my favorites, and while it’s very easy and inexpensive to make, it tastes like it came straight from a gourmet bakery. We had it on Christmas morning after opening presents. Mmmmmmm.

• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 t almond extract
• 1/2 cup butter
• 24 frozen, unbaked yeast dinner rolls
