Description

Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is a warm, pull-apart bread made with soft biscuit dough pieces coated in cinnamon sugar and baked with tender, diced apples. This comforting and easy recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, filling your kitchen with irresistible fall flavors and a delightful aroma.

Ingredients

Dough and Fruit

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup diced apples, peeled

Spices and Sugars

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Butter and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Coat Dough Pieces: Toss the biscuit dough quarters in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the sweet spice blend.
  4. Layer Dough and Apples: Evenly layer the coated biscuit dough pieces and the diced peeled apples in the prepared bundt pan, alternating layers for a balanced distribution.
  5. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and mixture is well blended.
  6. Pour Butter Mixture: Slowly pour the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla mixture evenly over the layered dough and apples in the bundt pan to ensure it soaks all layers.
  7. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through in the center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use firm apple varieties such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and tart flavor contrast.
  • Place a baking sheet underneath the bundt pan to catch any drips of butter and sugar during baking for easier cleanup.
  • Best served warm and fresh to enjoy the gooey texture and aroma fully.
