Apple Monkey Bread

The classic Monkey Bread gets a new spin. Apple Monkey Bread with apples all thoughout. You family will flip for this easy dessert.

Apple Monkey Bread

My 2-year-old son loves donuts. Loves them. For his birthday breakfast he wanted donuts. He got donuts for breakfast as you can see in this Instagram photo. He will walk over and open the cupboard under the kitchen sink where the paper towels are attached to the door and pull one off. Then he grabs his Elmo bib and puts it on and climbs up onto a chair at the table, sets his paper towel on the tables and says, “A donut” and pats the paper towel. I cannot resist him. He wins every time. I buy mini donuts so it’s just a little snack rather than a whole big donut.

Apple Monkey Bread

When I made this Apple Monkey Bread, my little guy took one look at it and said, “Donut!” He was so excited to see this big “donut”. And can you blame him? I made this for the Monthly Ingredient Challenge that I am a part of. Last month’s ingredient was cilantro and I made this Avocado Cilantro Dip. This month’s ingredient is apples. Um, obviously. I used my Monkey Bread recipe and just added apples to it. Make it and you’ll love it. Be sure to double it because it will be gone in a flash.

  2. Haha! Your little boy is adorable. And I’m with ya on not being able to resist them. I have a 2-year-old girl and when she asks for something in that cute little voice, it’s impossible to say no. This apple version of monkey bread looks insane. I’m pretty sure I’d devour the whole thing! Pinning!

  6. Dear Mandy, what a wonderful treat! I love how simple this is to put together. This would be a nice morning treat too with coffee. xo, Catherine

  13. Oh my goodness!! I seriously started drooling when I saw this picture on Pinterest. I am a HUGE apple fan, so I will definitely be making this at my first excuse to make it for people. Otherwise, I would make it just for me and eat the whole thing. 🙂 Pinning, Stumbling and Yumming!

    • Haha! You will definitely love these. Thanks for sharing these in internet world!

  14. Re apple monkey bread: please specify the sizes of the canned biscuits (number of biscuits)! Too many different sizes nowadays!

    • I used the standard size with 8 biscuits in the can. I don’t have one in front of me to tell the oz. I didn’t use jumbo though.
