Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is the perfect autumn breakfast surprise. This warm and gooey treat is the perfect way to start a chilly day.
It has been said that the sense of smell can trigger powerful emotions and evoke memories from your childhood. I believe it. If you are like me, then walking past a Cinnabon at the mall is like a stroll down Memory Lane. The aroma wafting out of the shop is almost intoxicating. The same can be said for the smell of apple pie baking in the oven. For me, there is no confusing those two aromas with anything else on the planet. Now, if you were to combine the two of them, cinnamon rolls and apple pie, you just found the perfect way to start the day! Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is the treat you need, deserve, and will crave!
Traditional Monkey Bread is a pull-apart bread made with pieces of biscuits, sugar, cinnamon, and butter. This Apple Pie Monkey Bread is a variation of the original, however instead of plain biscuits, you are going to use store-bought cinnamon rolls, and apple pie filling.
The best way that it was described to me, is that this recipe tasted like a deconstructed handheld apple pie. The kind that you get from gas stations and grocery stores here in North Carolina. The apple pie filling pairs perfectly with the doughy, cinnamon biscuit pieces. If you top it with the icing that comes with the biscuits, you are in for a treat!
Apple Pie Monkey Bread is one the easiest recipes to make, there are only two ingredients and only a handful of steps to cooking this recipe.
Absolutely! Monkey Bread is great for pot-lucks or large gatherings. You can make it in advance, and cover it with aluminum foil to keep the biscuits from hardening. Or, bake it in a glass container that has a separate lid for longer storage and enjoyment.
Yes, you can freeze this monkey bread recipe, just make sure you store it in an airtight container. And you may want to let it thaw out before you toss it in the microwave, or else you will have cold apples and biscuits that are hard as a rock.
Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is a pretty hearty meal and can either be served as a single dish for breakfast or part of a larger brunch spread. If you are looking for some other sweet treats for breakfast or brunch, make sure you check out these recipes:
