Adventuresome Apple & Cinnamon Monkey Bread

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly with baking spray or butter.
2. 2

   Open the biscuit dough cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
4. 4

   Arrange half of the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan.
5. 5

   In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
6. 6

   Sprinkle the diced apples and chopped pecans (if using) over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
7. 7

   Top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit pieces, arranging them evenly.
8. 8

   Pour the warm butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over everything in the Bundt pan.
9. 9

   Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. A wooden skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. This allows the caramel to set slightly.
11. 11

    Place a serving plate upside down over the Bundt pan and carefully invert, letting the monkey bread release onto the plate.
12. 12

    Serve warm, dusting with powdered sugar if desired, and let everyone pull apart their own delicious pieces.
