Reviews
I thought it was great! Everyone loved it. It was my first time making Monkey Bread and it was easy.
We made this Christmas morning. It’s quick to put together, not too long to bake. The hardest part is letting it set before turning out to eat it up. Pretty darn sweet, definitely appreciated the soft apples in it
my family loved the addition of apples
This was really tasty and pretty easy to make. I cut back the sugar a little to accommodate my own tastes, but otherwise it’s a good recipe.
Cover with foil after 15 minutes. Half in 8×8 pan might be more reasonable for 2.
This was really good and gooey. I did as other suggested and only used a half cup of white sugar. This was such an easy recipe to make. Much easier than using the frozen bread dough.
GREAT RECIPE! What a great way to wake up the family! I followed this recipe pretty much to the T. Except… I don’t buy margarine, so I used butter instead and I added chopped pecans to the apple layers. As some of the reviews stated, there was cinnamon/sugar left over. I had about 1/4 cup remaining, so i just topped that off with the brown sugar, (3/4 cup) instead of tossing yummy cinnamon/sugar. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
This is so delicious!!! I did add vanilla to the brown sugar and butter after I removed it from the heat. I also made my own biscuit dough which there is a super easy and quick recipe on allrecipes! I will definitely be making this again!
I only made 1/3 recipe in a loaf pan. My grandkids loved it.
Made it for Christmas morning and it disappeared in a flash!
Tastes great, but the suggested cook time of 35 minutes was not near enough. Dough was still raw in the middle. Had to put it in a shallow cake pan and cook it another 30 minutes to get all the dough cooked, at a lower temperature, 325 convection.
Love this recipe. Very simple but I did make a couple of changes. First off, I use only 2 cans of biscuits as it cooks much better. When using 3 cans it is usually still too doughy in the middle. Also, instead of using fresh apples, I use a can of apple pie filling and layer it between each round of biscuits. And as other reviewers have mentioned, I did cover it with Reynold’s Wrap after the first 15 minutes to keep it moist while baking. One word of warning though: when in a hurry and reaching for a bottle of ground cinnamon, do not grab ground red pepper by mistake! It was definitely an eye-opening experience.
I added some pecans to the bottom of the pan and replaced the margarine with butter. I ended up cooking it an extra 5 minutes (40 minutes total) with foil on top after the first 15 minutes. It was amazing!
I added almost twice as many apples which was a little to many. I also only had 1 16 oz can of biscuits. This turned out very well and having tonight with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It is delicious, I had to sample it????! Would definitely make again with 5 apples instead of 6 and also do 2 12 oz cans of biscuits but this is delicious ??! Thanks for a great recipe!
I added pecans and a few raisins. I didn’t have regular biscuits so I used 1 can of cinnamon rolls and 1 can of crescent rolls. Wonderfully, sweet, sticky and yummy!!
Loved it!!
This was amazing! We love apple pie, so this was a great option for us. next time we will cut the recipe down in thirds and use a loaf pan. the whole recipe makes more thank we can eat in a week….but what a treat!
Delicious! Only difference I did was using 2 apples and a tsp vanilla to the brown sugar butter sauce.
Used butter instead of margarine, 2 apples instead of 1, and it was a huge hit at our Christmas Eve brunch!! Had a few people ask me for the recipe afterwards and said it was the best thing they had eaten all weekend. Next time I’m going to add pecans. Yum!!!
This is delicious! I had one 16.3 oz biscuit roll so cut white sugar to 1/2 cup, 1 tsp cinnamon, used one large Late Melrose apple. Heated 1/4 c butter & 1/2 c. brown sugar. Sprinkled chopped hazelnuts on top. Baked for 40 minutes in a bread pan. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I must admit I didn’t have a bundt pan. I used my cast iron pot and put a steel can in the middle. Then I placed the ingredients around the can as directed. The flavor was really tasty but the bread didn’t cook as well as I would have liked. Everybody that ate it were very happy with the taste. I will do it again but with the proper pan.
