Apple Monkey Bread Muffins
Description
Apple Monkey Bread Muffins bring together pieces of buttery biscuit dough and fresh apple chunks coated evenly in cinnamon and sugar. This mixture is packed into muffin tins and topped with a brown sugar and butter sauce that caramelizes as it bakes, creating a sweet crust on each muffin. Baking at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes yields tender muffins with crispy edges and pockets of warm, spiced apple.
The muffins are inverted onto a plate after baking, revealing a sticky surface that holds the cinnamon-sugar coating and apple bits. This size and shape make them easy to handle and share, perfect for casual breakfasts or sweet snacks.
To avoid drips from the buttery glaze, place a baking sheet under the muffin tin during baking. The combination of soft biscuit pieces and tender apple, enhanced by the cinnamon-sugar mix, makes these muffins a pleasant variation on pull-apart breads.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 can Biscuits refrigerated

- Separate the biscuits, and cut or break each into 6 to 8 pieces and add to the bag.
- Peel, core and dice the apple, and add the apple pieces to the bag. Shake it well to distribute the cinnamon and sugar over the pieces of biscuit and apple.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, and stir in the brown sugar.

Notes
