Description
A sweet, sticky monkey bread recipe flavored like apple fritters.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 1 tablespoon milk for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a standard bundt pan well.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss the quartered biscuit pieces in this sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Arrange half of the coated biscuit pieces in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the chopped apples and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture over the apples in the saucepan and cook for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
- Pour the apple mixture evenly over the first layer of biscuits in the pan.
- Top with the remaining coated biscuit pieces.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- While cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread.
Notes
- Use firm apples that hold their shape well during cooking.
- You can substitute pre-made apple pie filling for the fresh apples if you prefer a quicker method.
