We love breakfast and brunch recipes around here, especially involving bread. Recipes like Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, Apple Cinnamon Rolls and Apple Coffee Cake. Apple Cinnamon Pancakes are pretty great too. (Can you also tell we love all things apple??)

Ingredients
- Grand Biscuits
- cinnamon
- apples - Cortland is a good choice, or Honeycrisp
- brown sugar
- butter - margarine can be used
- sugar
- white chocolate chips - optional, but it adds such flavor
Using a bundt pan
Using a Bundt pan for this recipe is really the best option as it not only has a great shape as you turn out the monkey bread, but it also holds the bread together. It also prevents leaking. If you only have an angel food pan to use, you can, but it can leak the butter and sugar out creating a huge mess in your oven. Be sure to put a pan under the angel food pan to catch any leaks. But again, the Bundt pan is highly recommended.
Choosing what apples to use
You will want a good apple that holds its shape in cooking. If you use an applesauce apple, it can turn to mush on you then it won't have that bite to it. I have a guide referring to the best apples to use for eating and baking. It is quite helpful!
Putting the monkey bread together
The apple monkey bread comes together so easily. The biscuits will be cut into fourths. I do recommend the Grand Biscuits as they are more flaky and, well, grand.
The cut biscuits will be rolled in the cinnamon sugar mixture along with the apple pieces and placed in the greased pan. The butter and brown sugar will be melted and poured over the top. Easy and delicious!
Tip
Be sure to turn the bread out from the pan quickly after baking. If you wait too long, the bread will stick to the pan. I always turn my monkey bread out within 3 minutes of taking it out of the oven.
