Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

• 9 Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup apple pie filling
• 1/3 c. brown sugar
• 2 T. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 T. butter

Steps:

  • Remove cinnamon rolls from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until thawed just enough to cut in quarters with scissors.
  • While rolls are thawing, grease a 5" x 9.5" bread pan (or a pan like the one shown in the recommended products section below).
  • Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. of cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • You won't need the whole can of apple pie filling for this recipe. Spoon a cup of apples out of the saucy part of the pie filling. Roughly chop them into pieces about the size of a pea. Set aside.
  • As soon as cinnamon rolls are thawed enough cut them into quarters with scissors. Put rolls in a large mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over cut rolls. Toss until rolls are coated. Don't worry if all of the sugar mixture isn't stuck to the rolls.
  • Melt butter. Pour it over rolls. Toss to coat.
  • Toss chopped apple pie filling with rolls.
  • Pour cinnamon rolls into prepared loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size. Or refrigerate overnight.
  • While rolls are rising mix flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar for streusel topping together. Cut in cold butter. Sprinkle over bread just before baking.
  • 12. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes. I'd set the loaf pan on a baking sheet because some of that gooey apple pie filling and butter might bubble over the top and make a mess in the oven! All that messy is delicious!
  • Remove from the oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Then remove to a serving tray if desired or serve straight from the pan if you'd rather. Either way drizzle bread with icing packets that come with the cinnamon rolls.

Time 5h35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 apples, diced (i used fuji and i didn't peel them)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 to 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp apple pie spice
1 stick butter, unsalted
1/4 tsp salt
15-20 frozen dinner yeast rolls
APPLE CINNAMON GLAZE
3/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp half and half

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle diced apples with brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice and salt. Toss together until apples are evenly coated and microwave for 2 mins. on high. Stir and set aside
  • 2. Once the rolls are slightly thawed , cut each dinner roll into four pieces and toss with half of the butter and the remaining cinnamon and apple pie spice until evenly coated.
  • 3. Spray bundt pan with butter flavored no stick spray. Place one half of the apples in the bottom of the bundt pan. Then place one half of the pieces of roll and repeat the layers with the other half of the apples and then the other half of the rolls. Pour the remaining butter over the entire pan making sure some drizzles down the side.
  • 4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with no stick spray. Let set until dough has doubled in size or overnight. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  • 5. To remove bread from pan, invert pan on your serving plate. Leave the pan in place for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan and spoon any apples remaining in the bottom of the pan onto the top of the bread to get every last drop of apple goodness. Drizzle with glaze while still warm.
  • 6. To make the Glaze: Mix all ingredients together. Start with 1 tbsp. of half-and-half and add more if glaze is still a little thick. You want it to be thick enough to slowly drizzle off of a spoon.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for a balanced flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are great options.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh apples, butter, and eggs will give you the best results. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve Warm: Apple pie monkey bread is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple pie monkey bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, pull-apart texture, and irresistible aroma, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
