Apple Pull Apart Bread
Description
This Apple Pull Apart Bread starts with refrigerated flaky biscuits that are peeled into layers to create multiple thin biscuit halves. Each piece is filled with a cooked apple mixture seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, then stacked to form vertical layers that bake into a pull-apart loaf. The apple filling is thickened and browned by cooking diced Gala apples with brown sugar and spices.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the loaf is cooked covered to allow thorough baking and then uncovered to brown the surface lightly. The result is a tender, layered bread with moist pockets of spiced apple throughout. Once slightly cooled, the loaf is drizzled with a vanilla powdered sugar icing made from powdered sugar, half and half, and vanilla extract, adding a sweet finish that complements the warm spices and brown sugar notes.
This bread serves well as a treat for breakfast or brunch, and the pull-apart format invites sharing. The balance between sweet, warmly spiced apple filling and flaky biscuit layers creates a comforting and textured sweet bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuits Grands brand, flaky

- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

- Place your stacks in the loaf pan, with the biscuit on its side, without filling touching the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Now remove the foil and bake until golden brown about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let the loaf cool for 5 minutes in the pan. After the 5 minutes remove the loaf from the pan.
ICING:
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and half and half, adding more if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Add the vanilla and whisk again.
- Drizzle liberally over the loaf.
