Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1/2cup granulated sugar
1/2cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan well.
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a skillet, cook diced apples over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside.
Cut biscuit dough into quarters. Toss dough pieces and cooked apples in the sugar mixture until coated.
Layer the apple and dough mixture into the prepared bundt pan.
Combine melted butter and vanilla extract, then pour evenly over the dough in the pan.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and cooked through. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
Whisk powdered sugar with milk to form a glaze. Drizzle over the monkey bread before serving.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balance in sweetness.
Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
Great for brunches, holidays, or as a dessert centerpiece.
