APPLE CINNAMON MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Remove Cinnamon Rolls from cans; cut each into quarters. Reserve 1 Icing packet for later use; discard remaining packet or reserve for another use.
• Melt 3 Tbsp. butter; reserve for later use. Melt remaining butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add apples and cinnamon; cook and stir 4 min. or until apples are crisp-tender.
• Spray 10-cup fluted pan generously with cooking spray. Place 1/3 of the cinnamon roll pieces in prepared pan; cover with layers of half each of the dry pudding mix, reserved butter and apples. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cinnamon roll pieces.
• Bake 40 min. or until golden brown. Carefully run knife around edges of pan to loosen bread; cool 5 min. Invert bread onto heatproof plate; remove pan. Cool bread 10 min.
• Whisk cream cheese, water and reserved icing until blended; drizzle over bread.

APPLE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Remove cinnamon rolls from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until thawed just enough to cut in quarters with scissors.
• While rolls are thawing, grease a 5" x 9.5" bread pan (or a pan like the one shown in the recommended products section below).
• Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. of cinnamon together. Set aside.
• You won't need the whole can of apple pie filling for this recipe. Spoon a cup of apples out of the saucy part of the pie filling. Roughly chop them into pieces about the size of a pea. Set aside.
• As soon as cinnamon rolls are thawed enough cut them into quarters with scissors. Put rolls in a large mixing bowl.
• Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over cut rolls. Toss until rolls are coated. Don't worry if all of the sugar mixture isn't stuck to the rolls.
• Melt butter. Pour it over rolls. Toss to coat.
• Toss chopped apple pie filling with rolls.
• Pour cinnamon rolls into prepared loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap.
• Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size. Or refrigerate overnight.
• While rolls are rising mix flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar for streusel topping together. Cut in cold butter. Sprinkle over bread just before baking.
• 12. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes. I'd set the loaf pan on a baking sheet because some of that gooey apple pie filling and butter might bubble over the top and make a mess in the oven! All that messy is delicious!
• Remove from the oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Then remove to a serving tray if desired or serve straight from the pan if you'd rather. Either way drizzle bread with icing packets that come with the cinnamon rolls.

CARAMEL APPLE GRILLED MINI MONKEY BREADS

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.

APPLE-CINNAMON MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray. Set aside icing tubs from cinnamon rolls. Separate each can of dough into 5 rolls; cut into quarters. Place apple in small bowl. In another small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Add 1/4 cup sugar mixture to apple; toss to coat. Sprinkle half of apple pieces in pan. Roll half of dough pieces in sugar mixture; place on apples in pan. Sprinkle with remaining apple pieces. Roll remaining dough pieces in sugar mixture; place on apples. Pour melted butter over top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown across top. Cool 10 minutes; run knife around edge of pan to loosen. Place heatproof serving plate over pan and turn over; remove pan. Cool 10 minutes longer. Drizzle reserved icing over top of bread, allowing some to drizzle down sides. Pull apart to serve; serve warm.
