APPLE CINNAMON MONKEY BREAD
This Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread is great for this time of the year or anytime as a dessert or with coffee. If you follow this blog, you know that I love monkey bread and trying new ways to make it. I made this one for the first time last week and it was gone in a flash.
2 (7.5 ounce) cans biscuits
3 medium sized apples, peeled and grated or shredded
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
5 tablespoons butter or margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup nuts ( I used walnuts), divided
1 cup raisins, divided
Cut each biscuit in half and roll out each half as large as you can get it. Add about a teaspoon of the apples and roll into a ball with your hands. Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and roll each biscuit ball in the cinnamon mixture. Generously spray a bundt pan and add half the nuts in the bottom of the pan along with half the raisins. Put half the cinnamon balls on top for the first layer. Melt the brown sugar and butter and pour half over the first layer. Add the remaining half cup of nuts and raisins, the rest of the cinnamon balls. Pour the rest of the brown sugar and butter over the second layer. If you have any cinnamon and sugar mixture left spread it on top. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes checking for doneness as ovens vary. Cool. Can add topping below. Enjoy!
Topping for Monkey Bread
1 cup powdered sugar
3 or 4 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk together and pour over bread. Can add more milk if needed.

This is the first post I’ve ever written. This was absolutely delicious! I made it for Christmas morning and my family loved it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to prepare. I didn’t need the 3 apples. I used 2 and had some left over. This will be a recipe I’ll make for many family gatherings. to come
I made this and my family loved it! We had breakfast for dinner and this was too good. Made me think of fall time. It was also really easy to make and that is a plus! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
That’s wonderful! We’re thrilled your family enjoyed it!
This looks absolutely delicious. Will try to make it tomorrow
Thank you
How about Bridgeford dough instead of canned biscuits. It’s the best dough ever. I bet it would make this recipe even better
I bet it would be great. The biscuits were to make it super easy. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Thanks so much Naomi, can’t wait to get started!
I only make it with fresh apples but I would just use a can of filling.
I have used all kinds.
Made this yesterday and it is a keeper! Just posted it on my fb page.
Thank you Jan! Post it on my FB page, if you would like.

Sounds so good! I like how you included which brands you used so it would turn out the same. Thanks!
