Description
Sticky, sweet, and packed with caramelized apples, this Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is the ultimate cozy dessert. Soft biscuit dough, brown sugar caramel, and tart apples combine in a beautiful Bundt-shaped pull-apart treat that’s perfect for fall mornings or special gatherings.
Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz each)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for apples)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (for caramel)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for apples)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a Bundt pan.
2. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
3. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, then toss biscuit pieces to coat.
4. In a skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter and sauté diced apples with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for about 3–5 minutes, until just starting to soften.
5. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar together until smooth and glossy.
6. Layer half of the sugared biscuit pieces into the pan, add half the apples, and repeat.
7. Pour half of the brown sugar-butter mixture over the top.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
9. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
10. Drizzle remaining brown sugar mixture over the warm bread and serve.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor balance.
Don’t skip the 10-minute rest before flipping the bread.
You can prep the whole thing ahead and bake straight from the fridge, just extend the bake time slightly.
