Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and pumpkin spice. Mix well to create a uniform spice mixture.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the apples into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size. Pat the apple pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Roll each biscuit piece in the sugar-pumpkin spice mixture, ensuring complete coverage. Place the coated pieces in the prepared bundt pan.
- Sprinkle the diced apple pieces evenly between the coated biscuit pieces as you layer them in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the layered biscuit and apple pieces in the bundt pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuit pieces are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate.
- Allow to cool for an additional 5-10 minutes before serving. Pull apart and enjoy the warm, spiced monkey bread.
Tips
- Pat your apple pieces dry to prevent excess moisture from making the bread soggy.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing of the brown sugar sauce.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar-spice coating.
- Make sure to grease your bundt pan thoroughly to ensure easy removal.
- Let the monkey bread cool slightly before serving to allow the sauce to set.
- For a more decadent version, add chopped nuts like pecans between layers.
- Serve warm for the best texture and most intense flavor experience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven for best results.
