Ingredients

Apples

  • 3 Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp butter

Monkey Bread

  • 18 frozen dinner rolls
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp milk or water
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the frozen dinner rolls on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel, and thaw for 1-2 hours.

Apples

  • In a medium bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and stir until well combined.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add in the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are fork tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Set aside.

Monkey Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF
  • Grease a bundt plan very well and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • In a separate small bowl, melt the butter.
  • Cut each thawed dinner roll into four equal pieces.
  • Dip the dinner roll pieces into the melted butter, then toss to coat in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat this until all the dinner roll pieces are coated.
  • Add a small layer of cooked apples to the bottom of the bundt pan. Then add a layer of dinner rolls. Keep alternating between apples and dinner rolls. If you have any leftover butter, pour it over the top of the rolls.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cover with foil halfway through if the top is getting too brown.
  • Remove from the oven, and immediately invert onto a large serving plate. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Vanilla Bean Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, water/milk and vanilla bean paste. Pour the glaze over the slightly cooled monkey bread.
  • Best if served immediately and warm.
