Ingredients
  

2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough

3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

    Prepare the dough: Open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces in a large mixing bowl.

      Mix sugar and cinnamon: In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the dough pieces, tossing until they’re evenly coated.

        Add the apples: Fold in the diced apples into the biscuit pieces, ensuring they are evenly mixed.

          Layer the mixture: Start layering the biscuit and apple mixture into the greased bundt pan. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans between layers for additional texture.

            Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the brown sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to slightly bubble.

              Pour caramel over the dough: Pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the layered biscuit and apple mixture in the bundt pan.

                Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and serve: Once baked, let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top for an indulgent finish.

                    Enjoy: Pull apart the warm, gooey, caramel apple monkey bread and enjoy a delightful treat with family and friends!
