Apple Fritter Monkey Bread
Description
Apple Fritter Monkey Bread combines peeled, diced apples tossed with brown sugar and cinnamon, layered with biscuit dough pieces coated in cinnamon sugar within a greased bundt pan. A sauce made of melted butter, more brown sugar, and vanilla extract is poured over before baking. The sugar and butter caramelize during baking, creating a sticky, sweet crust while the biscuits bake into soft, pillowy dough pockets around the tender spiced apples.
As it bakes at 350°F for about 50 to 60 minutes, the bread develops golden edges and a slightly crisp top. Covering the bread with foil if it browns too quickly helps prevent burning. After cooling briefly, it is inverted onto a plate for serving warm pieces of pull-apart bread with apple and spice flavors.
This monkey bread serves well for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, offering a handheld way to enjoy apple fritter flavors in a fun presentation.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple peeled and diced
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 32 ounces refrigerator biscuits 2 packages
Sauce
- ½ cup butter melted, 1 stick
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the apples, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Open the packages of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- Scoop 1/3 of the apples into the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with 1/3 of the biscuit pieces. Repeat the layers until all the apples and biscuits are added to the pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce, then pour the mixture over the biscuits in the bundt pan.
- Bake the monkey bread at 350F for 50-60 minutes. Check on the bread at 45 minutes and if the top is getting too dark, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.
- Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a plate to serve.
- Serve the monkey bread warm.
