Apple Pie Monkey Bread Ingredients
- 24.8 ounces refrigerated cinnamon rolls (2 cans, each 12.4 ounces)
- 21 ounces apple pie filling (1 can)
- Cinnamon roll icing (from the cinnamon roll cans)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces that will bake evenly.
- Chop Apple Filling: Use kitchen scissors or a knife to chop the apple pie filling into smaller, bite-sized chunks to distribute evenly throughout the bread.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the quartered cinnamon roll pieces with the chopped apple filling until well combined.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Fill Pan: Pour the cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan. While still warm, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a plate to release the bread. Drizzle with the cinnamon roll icing from the cans and serve warm.
Notes
- Using kitchen shears makes chopping the apple filling easier and ensures evenly sized pieces.
- Be careful when flipping the warm bundt pan to avoid spills or burns.
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch if desired.
- This monkey bread is best served warm to enjoy the gooey texture and melted icing.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature and reheat gently before serving.
