Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), diced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
2 tablespoons milk (for optional glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with non-stick spray or butter.
2. Peel and dice apples into small cubes. Set aside.
3. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
4. In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss biscuit pieces in the mixture until coated.
5. In layers, add biscuit pieces and diced apples into the bundt pan.
6. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
7. Pour caramel mixture evenly over the biscuit and apple layers in the pan.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
9. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
10. For the glaze (optional), mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm monkey bread before serving.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the caramel.
Let the monkey bread cool slightly before flipping—this keeps it from falling apart.
For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans between the layers before baking.
