Tips:

  • Use a large bundt pan or tube pan for the monkey bread to ensure that it cooks evenly and has a nice shape.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use a 9x13 inch baking dish, but the monkey bread will be flatter.
  • Be sure to coat the apple pieces in cinnamon sugar before adding them to the dough. This will help them to caramelize and add a delicious flavor to the monkey bread.
  • If you don't have walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:
