Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt or tube pan generously with cooking spray or butter to ensure easy removal.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Pour this decadent mixture evenly over the biscuits in the pan.
