Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread – easy breakfast recipe that starts with refrigerated cinnamon rolls! The perfect fall breakfast!
I love baking with apples in the fall. Some of my other favorites are Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Apple Spice Cupcakes, and Apple Upside Down Cake.
Happy Friday eve!
I think we may have made our final lake trip of the year last weekend.
It was cold.
I think I lasted 30 minutes before I wrapped myself in all 4 of our towels and then they eventually followed me out.
So depressing.
Not really sure what I’m going to do with my weekends now besides bake yummy fall treats.
This Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is the easiest monkey bread you’ll ever make.
I have always made monkey bread from scratch so it’s kind of an all day event. You’re not making homemade monkey bread and having it for breakfast. It’s just not happening. Maybe lunch. If you’re the kind of person that gets up and is immediately ready to cook.
I am not. I need 3 cups of coffee and to catch up on my inbox before I even consider cooking anything.
But for this monkey bread, all you have to do is cut up a couple cans of refrigerated biscuits and roll them in cinnamon sugar and then layer them in a bundt pan with diced apple that’s also been rolled in cinnamon sugar. Bake until golden and delicious and then drizzle the icing from the cinnamon rolls on top.
Ingredients
- Refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing – I like the ones with the cream cheese frosting for this recipe
- Granny smith apple – you want a tart green apple for this recipe since everything else is sweet
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Butter
Instructions
- Prepare. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a bundt pan with oil.
- Cut cinnamon rolls. Cut each container of cinnamon rolls into 5 pieces and cut each of those pieces into quarters.
- Dice apples. Put diced apple in a small bowl.
- Make cinnamon sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together cinnamon and sugar. Pour half on top of the apple and toss to combine.
- Assemble. Place half of the apples in the bottom of the prepared pan. Toss the remaining sugar with the cut cinnamon rolls. Put half of the cinnamon rolls in the bundt and top with the rest of the apples. Finish with the rest of the cinnamon rolls.
- Add butter. Drizzle with the melted butter.
- Bake. Bake 40 – 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool completely. Let cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife around the sides to loosen any stuck bits. Flip onto a serving platter and drizzle with icing.
How Long Is It Good For?
Monkey bread is good for up to a week in the fridge. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to keep it from drying out.
I recommend reheating in the microwave before serving.
