And the results are in ... drum roll ... it's a keeper! I followed this Monkey Bread recipe with a few adaptions.Instead of coating the biscuit pieces in a mixture of 2/3 white granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mix 1 cup of sugar with 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Peel and dice 2 large apples. I re-hydrated some dried apples pieces I had and used those this time - still really good. Fresh apples will be a little more firm. Coat the apples in the cinnamon sugar mixture as you do the biscuits. I made the bottom layer in my greased bundt pan just biscuit pieces. I layered a mixture of apple and biscuit pieces after that.
For the caramel topping, substitute 2/3 cup of brown sugar for the white sugar. I used butter instead of margarine along with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Follow the directions found in the recipe. I baked the monkey bread for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
It was ooey-gooey yumness I served with honeydew, fresh blueberries, orange slices and milk.
My kids loved it! And my son loved helping to make it! We actually used 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of raspberry extract. And we had raspberries and blueberries mixed with rediwhip with it! Thanks for posting the recipe! I have a ton of kid friendly recipes on my blog too. Check it out!
