Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape better during baking.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing will result in tough monkey bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon has a more intense flavor than pre-ground cinnamon. If you don't have fresh cinnamon, use 1/2 teaspoon of pre-ground cinnamon.
  • Don't Crowd the Monkey Bread: Make sure there is enough space between the monkey bread balls in the pan so that they can rise and bake evenly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The monkey bread is done baking when it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Apple cinnamon monkey bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its soft and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and irresistible cinnamon sugar coating, this monkey bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
