Pumpkin Apple Monkey Bread
Pumpkin Apple Monkey Bread is the ultimate fall breakfast! This sticky sweet, crave-worthy recipe is made with real pumpkin, fresh apples and just the right amount of pumpkin pie spice! It's easy to bake in the oven or toss in your Crock Pot for a breakfast that everyone will love!
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 32.6 ounces refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, 2 - 16.3 oz cans
- 2 cups apples, peeled & diced
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
- Slice each biscuit into quarters, then add the biscuits and diced apples to the sugar mixture, and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, pumpkin puree and maple syrup together.
- Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Pour half of the pumpkin butter mixture in the bottom of the bundt pan.
- Add the sugar-coated biscuits and apples to the bundt pan.
- Pour the other half of the pumpkin butter mixture over the biscuits.
- Place the bundt pan of monkey bread on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) then into the oven for 40-50 minutes.
- You’ll know when monkey bread is done when the pieces of dough start to turn golden brown and get a caramelized crust on the outside.
- Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Place a large plate over the bundt pan and flip the monkey bread out onto the plate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make the monkey bread in a Crock Pot:
- Follow steps 2-4 above.
- Transfer the sugar-coated biscuits and apples to a Crock Pot, set to low.
- Pour the pumpkin butter mixture over the biscuits in the Crock Pot.
- Cook on low for at least 4 hours, or up to 7 hours.
- Turn the Crock Pot to warm after 7 hours, until you’re ready to serve the monkey bread.
- I recommend using honey crispy, jonagold or pink lady apples for this recipe.
- Leftover monkey bread should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay good in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- To reheat, place the monkey bread on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 1 minute to warm it up. You can also place slices of monkey bread on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to reheat the bread.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, use a 9 inch by 13 inch casserole dish or 2 loaf pans to make this recipe.
