Description

This Easy Apple Monkey Bread is a delightful vegan treat made with tender buttermilk biscuit pieces coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, layered with fresh crisp apples, and drizzled with a rich vegan buttery caramel sauce. Baked to golden perfection in a bundt pan, it’s perfect for breakfast or dessert and serves 6 to 12 people with a warm, gooey texture and sweet-spiced flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 (16-ounce) packages of vegan buttermilk biscuits

Coating

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon

Fruit

  • 2 apples, cored and chopped (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Caramel Sauce

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut Biscuits: Remove the vegan buttermilk biscuits from their packages and cut each biscuit into 4 even pieces to create bite-sized chunks.
  3. Coat Biscuit Pieces: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add a handful of biscuit pieces, tossing them thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Continue adding biscuit pieces in handfuls, tossing each time, until all are coated evenly.
  4. Layer Apples and Biscuit Chunks: Spread half of the chopped apples evenly in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Add half of the coated biscuit pieces over the apples. Repeat with the remaining apples and top with the remaining biscuit pieces.
  5. Make Caramel Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted vegan butter until it reaches a thick, caramel-like consistency.
  6. Drizzle and Bake: Evenly drizzle the vegan butter caramel mixture over the layered biscuits and apples in the bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Unmold: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 2 hours to allow the bread to set, making it easier to remove.
  8. Serve: Place a serving plate over the bundt pan and carefully flip it to release the monkey bread. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to avoid mushy texture when baked.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Use a rimmed serving plate or container as the caramel sauce can be drippy.
  • Allow the bread to rest and cool completely before unmolding to ensure it holds its shape.
