Quickie Bake Brunch : Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread

Last week I shared my recipe for apple pie filling. While you could, of course, use this apple pie filling to make apple pie or you could make Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread. 

This is actually my husband’s favorite brunch-time dish and it really is a quickie bake. 

Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread

Something about Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread that just feels like autumn. It’s the perfect brunch dish to pair with a warm glass of apple cider and eat up while it’s toasty warm.

The recipe itself is pretty easy and if you’ve ever made monkey bread then there’s only one other thing you’ll need to add apple pie filling. Basically, you add a layer of biscuits, brown sugar butter mix, and apple pie filling, then repeat.

Apple Pie Filling 

Now the key to this recipe is the addition of the apple pie filling, which as it so happens I have a quick recipe for. 

The Husband’s Favorite

My husband’s not much of a foodie, in fact eating to him is kind of a chore. So, it’s always a surprise when he actually requests a certain dish to be made.

Aside from my Key lime pie he often requests Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread. 

He says he likes it on cold days and enjoys munching on it throughout the day. Though it is best-served straight from the oven while warm. 

Another reason he might request it often is that we almost always have all the ingredients on hand, so it’s become a staple in the kitchen. 

There really isn’t much to it. I’d love to hear in the comments below if you tried your hand at making this quickie brunch dish and how yours turned out.
