Method:

1. Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for colored fluted tube pan.)

2. In small saucepan, melt margarine. Coat bottom and sides of 12-cup fluted tube pan (do not use pan with removable bottom) with 2 Tbs of the melted margarine; sprinkle pan with 3 Tbs of the nuts.

3. Add remaining nuts, brown sugar and water to margarine; heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.

4. Remove dough from cans in rolled sections; do not unroll. Cut each section into 4 slices.

5. Arrange 8 slices in prepared pan, separating each pinwheel slightly to allow sauce to penetrate. Spoon half the caramel sauce over dough.

6. Repeat with remaining dough, topping slices in pan; pour remaining caramel sauce over dough.

7. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes (30-35 minutes for colored fluted tube pan) or until deep golden brown. Cool 3 minutes; turn onto serving platter or waxed paper.
