Apple Pie Monkey Bread

When it comes to fall baking, few things are as comforting as warm cinnamon, gooey caramelized sugar, and the taste of apple pie.

This apple pie inspired monkey bread has it all, without even needing apples. By using our Amoretti® Natural Apple Pie Artisan Flavor, you get all the cozy, spiced notes of apple pie in every bite. And the best part? It comes together quickly with store-bought buttermilk biscuits, making it the perfect treat for a last-minute brunch or a weekend morning delicacy.

This recipe is easy, delicious, and practically foolproof. Just toss, bake, and enjoy the pull-apart goodness.

Ingredients

• 3 cans buttermilk biscuits
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 & 1/2 tablespoons Amoretti® Natural Apple Pie Artisan Flavor
• 2 teaspoons Amoretti® Vanilla Bean Paste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan well with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a ziploc bag, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
3. Open the biscuit cans and cut each biscuit into quarters. Add the pieces to the bag and toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated (NOTE: we recommend doing this in three parts so the biscuits don't stick together).
4. Then place them into the prepared bundt pan.
   
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the Amoretti® Natural Apple Pie Artisan Flavor.
6. Pour the brown sugar-butter mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
8. Let the monkey bread rest for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Pull apart and enjoy warm!
