Apple Pie Monkey Bread

Apple pie filling sandwiched between tender cinnamon rolls held together with a gooey brown sugar glaze. This Apple Pie Monkey bread is the perfect breakfast for a special occasion. Who needs a special occasion? This decadent monkey bread is perfect anytime ! I feel like I have made this 556 times , ok a little exaggeration on my part. When I was developing and tweaking this recipe I made it three times, which is pretty normal. Baking time needed adjusting  and techniques and photographs taken.  My SD card that stores all of my photos literally fell apart and all of my photos were lost. I quickly remade several of my recipes that the photos were lost to but this one was the one I really didn’t mind making over again. Just the smell of it baking is intoxicating .

Let’s Make Apple Pie Monkey Bread!

Supplies Needed :

  • 3 cans of regular cinnamon rolls(8 serving size cans)
  • 1 can of apple pie filling
  • Brown Sugar and Granulated sugar
  • Cinnamon (I recommend Siagon Cinnamon)
  • Butter
  • Non stick cooking spray
  • Measuring spoons and cups-This is my new favorite Set
  • small sauce pan
  • Bundt Pan-click here for the one I use

Ingredients for Apple Pie Monkey Bread

Start off by preheating the  oven to 350 degrees and spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl pour the apple pie filling in it and run a sharp knife through it and cut the apples in small pieces. Set aside for later.

Cutting the apple fillingMix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl or ziplock bag. Open the cinnamon rolls and reserve the icing for later. Then cut all of the cinnamon rolls into four pieces. Coat the cinnamon rolls in the sugar mixture and discard what is left of the sugar mixture.

Cut cinnamon rolls and dusting them with cinnamon and suagr

Place 1/3 of the quartered cinnamon rolls in the bundt pan the Layer half of the diced apples on top of that. Next add another 1/3 of the cinnamon roll fourths and top than with the other half of the apples. The last of the cinnamon rolls will be on top.

Layering the cinnamon rolls and apple pie in a bundt pan

In a small sauce pan melt the butter and add the brown sugar and cinnamon and keep on medium heat until it starts to bubble. Pour the hot mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll layers. Then give the bundt pan a few taps on the counter to allow the brown sugar mixture to seep down a bit. Bake in a preheated oven 55 minutes

Remove the bundt pan from the oven and let it cool 15 minutes. Invert the bundt pan onto a cake plate then drizzle the reserved icing over the top.

Notes

Baking time may very but this does take a little while to bake 
Do not invert this while it is too hot or it will fall apart , letting it cool 15 minutes was perfect for me
Spray your bundt pan very well to prevent sticking

Sister made this today for breakfast. I liked it, she didn’t. For her it was too sweet, may try again with some adjustments for the sweetness factor.

I made this for brunch on Christmas morning. I usually make homemade cinnamon rolls but this year I just didn’t have the time. Everyone loved the apple chunks in the middle of the monkey bread. So good!! This is going to be a regular for our special breakfasts and brunches.

This dessert was so easy, the kids made it themselves! They also ate all of it as soon as it came out of the oven. Delicious!
