I know you have had to seen monkey bread before but I knew taking it to the next level would just be over the top delicious! I used granny smith apples as the filling because they hold up well to cooking and just have a slight tartness which brings a nice layer of flavor. Using canned biscuit dough really makes this easy to put together.

Buttermilk biscuits are stuffed with cinnamon apples and cream cheese.
Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time55 mins
Total Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Baked Good
Cuisine: Traditional
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 330kcal

Ingredients

Apple filling:

  • 1 granny smith apple cored, peeled, fine dice
  • 2 Tbls unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbls light brown sugar

Monkey Bread:

  • 3 cans 12 oz buttermilk biscuits
  • 6 Tbls unsalted butter melted
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1 Cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbls ground cinnamon

Glaze:

  • 1 Cup light brown sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter

Instructions

Apple Filling:

  • Make the apple filling first by placing the butter and apples in a skillet over medium low heat. Add in remaining ingredients and let cook down for 15 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Take off the heat and let cool.

Monkey Bread Assembly:

  • Working with one can of biscuits at a time, place all the biscuits on work surface and flatten out. Add in 1/2 tsp of the apple mixture with 1/4 tsp of the cream cheese in each. Fold biscuit in half, pinching to secure the edges and with hand, roll into ball. After all the biscuits are stuffed and rolled, roll them in the melted butter then into a separate bowl that has the brown sugar and cinnamon combined. Place into a bundt pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Repeat this process until all the biscuits are done. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in fridge over night.

Glaze:

  • In the morning, take out the bundt pan about an hour before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
  • Make the glaze by placing the butter and brown sugar in a sauce pot and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. As soon as it comes to a boil, pour evenly over biscuits.
  • Bake in a preheat 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes, until the outside is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. Let sit on counter top 10 minutes to let cool slightly and VERY CAREFULLY invert bundt pan onto serving platter, enjoy!

    Kind of like an apple fritter and I love me some apple fritters. This has got to rock! I tried a way to do this with a monkey bread recipe and it was a FAILURE. LOL

    I’ll have to try your version.
    Pinning it!
