Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuits
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Open the cans of refrigerated biscuits and separate the dough into individual biscuits.
  4. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit quarters in the bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Cook until the mixture comes to a boil, then remove from heat.
  6. Spread a spoonful of the caramel sauce onto the bottom of the greased bundt pan.
  7. Layer a portion of the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit quarters in the pan, followed by a layer of diced apples. Drizzle some caramel sauce over the apples.
  8. Repeat the layers until all the biscuit quarters and apples are used, finishing with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  10. Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  11. Place a serving plate upside down on top of the bundt pan and carefully flip it over to release the monkey bread onto the plate.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!
