- 3 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.

- Open the biscuit tubes and cut each biscuit into four bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Gently drop dough pieces into the bowl and cover with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Alternate layering diced apple and dough bites in the bundt pan.
- Then, in a small saucepan, add 1 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture from the dough. Stir gently and bring to a boil. When sugar is dissolved, drizzle the sauce over tbe bundt pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until done. Allow the monkey bread to rest for approximately 5 minutes. Then invert onto a large plate. Drizzle with glaze (optional) and serve warm.
