An Apple a Day - Monkey Bread WITH Apples!

Sometimes the best way to use an apple is to add it to a pre-existing recipe. Last night I had risotto with smoked bacon and apple slices at Vespa with my boyfriend. It was heavenly!

So, I took the idea of adding an apple to a dish for the next An Apple a Day Recipe.

***Calling all food bloggers: if you have a recent apple dessert post, send my way. I will be concluding An Apple a Day with a post including links to blogs. erika8cookies@gmail.com***

My much loved Monkey Bread got some apple love.

I used a Granny Smith apple that I picked from Terhune Orchards. I think I only have 8 apples left now...

Monkey Bread (aka Pull Apart Rolls) WITH APPLES (adapted from Mom's Best Recipes cookbook)

2 cans of biscuits (I prefer the extra buttery and fluffy ones)

1 C sugar

2 t cinnamon

1+ chopped apple (I used Granny Smith)

1 1/2 sticks butter

1 C brown sugar

1 t cinnamon

Generously grease tube pan with Crisco. In paper bag, put sugar and 2 t cinnamon. Using 1 can at a time, cut biscuits into quarters. Place in paper bag and shake to coat. Place in tube pan, sprinkling apple pieces over each layer except last one.

 

(Second Part)

Boil together butter, brown sugar, and 1 t cinnamon. Pour mixture over biscuits. Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before inverting. Let guests pull apart.

Bake well and prosper!
