Monkey bread, also known as monkey puzzle bread, monkey brains, sticky bread, Hungarian coffee cake, and a few more names that I can’t remember right now, is definitely a popular treat in my house, and it is so easy to make and eat! This Apple Fritter Monkey Bread is made with store-bought biscuits, so it’s easy to put together and start pulling apart to enjoy! For another apple fritter treat, try my

There are three parts to this recipe that come together so sweetly and deliciously–the apple mixture, the bread mixture, and the glaze.
Apples: I used Granny Smith apples for the recipe because they remain firm when baking. They won’t turn to mush and they tend to retain their shape when baked. A few other options you could try would be Honeycrisp apples, Braeburn, Fuji, or Pink Lady apples.
Biscuits: Look for the flaky variety of buttermilk biscuits.
Or, you could also use Rhodes Rolls (like I did in my ).
Glaze: The glaze is a simple glaze made with confectioners’ sugar and milk.
Generally, monkey bread is made in a bundt pan. But, you can definitely use a different type of pan to get the same delicious Apple Fritter Monkey Bread. You could use a casserole pan. But, the cooking times could vary when you are using a different pan. Be sure to check the middle of the bread for doneness. A bread pan or springform pan would also work.
Yes! This recipe is easy to put together the day ahead of baking. Simply follow all of the instructions up to placing the bread into the oven. Cover the rolls and store them in the refrigerator until the next day. Then, bake the bread when you are ready.
Store the baked bread in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy, simply pop it in the microwave to warm it up.

Apple Fritter Monkey Bread is an ooey-gooey pull apart bread loaded with sweetened apples, all drizzled with a sweet glaze.
2mediumGranny Smith apples,peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Add in the chopped apples and toss gently to coat. Set the apples aside as you prepare the bread mixture.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and melted butter.
Cut each of the biscuits into 6 pieces.
Add the biscuit pieces to the brown sugar and butter mixture and gently toss to coat.
Add ⅓ of the apple mixture to the prepared bundt pan. Top with a layer of half of the coated biscuit pieces. Add another ⅓ of the apple mixture, followed by the remaining half of biscuit pieces. Finally, top with the remaining apple mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes.
When the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk, adding just one tablespoon of milk at a time, until you reach desired consistency.
Invert the cooled bread pan onto a plate and drizzle it with the glaze.
*These are the biscuits you buy in a tube. You break open the tube and it POPS. 🙂 Some countries do not have this type of biscuit. If you don’t have it you make the dough from scratch or use a frozen roll like Rhodes. (I use Rhodes in this recipe: )
