Apple Caramel Monkey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Add apple chunks and stir to coat thoroughly. Set aside.
• Divide dough into 20 pieces. Wrap 1 piece of dough around a coated apple chunk and pinch to seal shut. Dip in melted butter, then roll in brown sugar. Arrange balls of dough in even circles in the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Carefully invert pan onto a large plate so caramel mixture runs over each piece. Cool briefly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for indirect medium-high heat.
• Brush 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with 2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle each one with some sugar until lightly coated. Separate the biscuits, cut each one into quarters and transfer to a large bowl. Add the apple to the bowl and then toss to combine with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter followed by the 1/4 cup sugar. Evenly divide the dough-apple mixture among the prepared muffin cups (about 4 pieces of dough per cup) and top with any butter and sugar left in the bowl. Press a caramel candy into the middle of each muffin cup and then firmly press everything into the bottom of the cup.
• Cover the muffin tin with foil and place on the indirect side of the grill. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Uncover and continue to cook until bread is golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes more.
• Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Being careful of the hot caramel, use a spoon to scoop out each mini monkey bread to a serving platter. If the caramel has cooled too much and the bread sticks to the tin, put it back on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the Delicious Slicing Bread, adding the vanilla extract to the dough. Set aside.
• Lightly grease a 10-cup Bundt pan or fluted pan.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss 1 tablespoon of the sugar mixture over apples in a medium bowl and stir to coat. Set aside.
• In a microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter in the microwave on medium high for 30 to 40 seconds, until melted. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Pour into the bottom of the prepared pan and sprinkle half the pecans, if using, over the brown sugar mixture.
• Spray a 1/4-cup scoop with vegetable spray. Scoop out balls of the bread dough and arrange in one layer over the pecan and brown sugar mixture. (This will yield about eight scoops or half the dough.) Sprinkle half of the remaining cinnamon sugar over the balls of dough. Spread the apples over the dough and top with a second layer of balls of dough, using all the remaining dough. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar and the remaining pecans over the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft free area to rise about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is brown. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate. Let cool an additional 10 minutes. Pull apart or slice with a bread knife. The monkey bread is best served warm, and can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Shortcuts:
• Use a commercial bread mix in place of the Delicious Slicing Bread.
• Place pecan halves in a plastic zip-top bag and seal. Crush with a rolling pin until coarsely chopped.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan.
• Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in 1-gallon food-storage plastic bag. Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each in quarters.
• Shake biscuit pieces in bag to coat; place in pan. Sprinkle any extra sugar mixture over biscuits.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar to boiling over medium-high heat; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour over biscuit pieces.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown and cooked through in center. Cool 5 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate; pull apart to serve. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the yogurt, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to yogurt mixture and beat until just combined. Fold in apples and pecans., Pour into a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack., In a small saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Cool slightly. Spread over cooled bread. Let stand for 15 minutes.
