Monkey Bread Recipe With Apples

 Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread – Fluffy balls of dough are stuffed with cinnamon apples, layered together in a Bundt pan, and then baked with a brown sugar goo to make a sticky, chewy loaf of monkey bread. 

Last week, we said goodbye to the stone fruit of summer with this incredible stone fruit tart. So, for today’s recipe, it only fell appropriate to welcome in the produce of the fall season – apples! Apple picking is actually at its peak in September (did you think it was October, too?!?) so I’ve got just the recipe to make with all those apples…my Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread!

Does any one know how monkey bread gets its name??? I’ve never thought to ask, probably because I was so mesmerized by the cinnamon flavor and the chewy texture that I didn’t care what it was called. All I know is that it’s balls of sweet, fluffy bread rolled in cinnamon sugar and bakes with a brown sugar gooey to bind them all together.

For my apple cinnamon version, I stuff each of those fluffy pieces of sweet bread with cinnamon apples. Just as you’d suspect, those cinnamon apples take monkey bread to a whole other level!!

If you’ve made any yeast dough before, you’ll have no issues making monkey bread. But even if you haven’t, don’t let that hold you back! Yeast dough is not as intimidating as it seems. You just have to listen to it. If it keeps sticking to your hands or the counter while you knead it, that just means it needs more flour. If it feels dry or clumpy, it needs more kneading. And maybe a splash of water.

Once you’ve finished kneading the dough and have let it double in size, it’s ready to be formed into monkey bread. The dough is split into 40 even pieces. Each piece is then stuffed with cooked cinnamon apples. We cook them to soften them up and ensure they won’t be crunchy after baking.

Once you’ve filled each ball with apples, they’re dipped in melted butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and then layered in a greased Bundt pan. Now, you need to let them sit for 40 more minutes to allow the yeast to pull up the balls so they’re nice and plump.

Finally, the brown sugar goo is poured over the bread and is baked for 30 to 40 minutes until the balls look golden brown on top. I then let the bread cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Sticky Apple, Walnut And Maple Monkey Bread

I usually prefer using a tart, and crisp apple for baking. The tartness of the apple pairs nicely with the sweet cinnamon caramel sauce in this recipe. The best apples for this recipe are honey crisp, or granny smith. But you can also use fuji apples.

If you don’t have a bundt pan, you can use two loaf pans for this recipe instead. Make sure to grease both of the pans well, and watch the baking time for this as a different pan will effect the time needed. Test the done-ness of the roll pieces with a toothpick. You could also cut the recipe and make the recipe in a single loaf pan.

You could also make mini monkey breads by placing 5 to 6 pieces, and a small amount of apple pieces, into greased muffin tin spots, and dividing the caramel sauce evenly over the top of them. You’ll be able to fill about 16 muffin cups.
