Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Last spring I baked a lemon-scented pull-apart coffee cake; it was one of the most delicious treats I've ever made.  In fact, it was such a hit here that I had to bake it several times before it lasted long enough for me to snap a few pictures.  A few months ago, I saw another pull-apart bread - this time a cinnamon sugar version - on Joy's blog.  It immediately brought back memories of the lemon cake and I knew if this variation was even half as good as the lemon one I'd be in big trouble.  So, I resisted making it for a while.  Sometimes it's just easier for me not to have certain baked goods in the house than it is to try and exercise any kind of self control around them.
