Description

A warm, pull-apart monkey bread loaded with cinnamon, sugar, and tender apple pieces. This sweet, sticky treat is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful dessert that’s easy to share and enjoy.

Ingredients

Dough and Fruit

  • 2 cans biscuit dough, cut into pieces
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced

Spices and Sugars

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Butter

  • ½ cup butter, melted

Optional

  • Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the monkey bread after baking.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the ½ cup sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mixing them well to create your cinnamon sugar coating.
  3. Coat Biscuit and Apples: Toss the biscuit dough pieces and peeled, diced apples in the cinnamon sugar mixture until each piece is well coated, ensuring that the cinnamon and sugar cling to both the dough and apple pieces for optimal flavor infusion.
  4. Layer in Pan: Evenly layer the coated biscuit and apple mixture into the prepared bundt pan. If using chopped nuts, sprinkle them between layers or on top for added texture and flavor.
  5. Prepare Butter and Brown Sugar Topping: In a separate container, mix the melted butter with ½ cup brown sugar. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered biscuit and apples in the bundt pan, which will melt into a glorious sticky glaze during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden brown and the biscuit dough is cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes to help it set. Then invert it carefully onto a plate. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, sticky pull-apart bread at its best.

Notes

  • Adding a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk can increase sweetness and add a lovely finishing touch.
  • This monkey bread is best enjoyed fresh and warm right out of the oven for a superior texture and flavor.
  • You can customize by adding chopped nuts or raisins for extra crunch and sweetness.
  • Make sure to grease the bundt pan generously to avoid sticking issues.
