Cinnamon Apple Cider Monkey Bread
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + standing
YIELD: 16 servings.
I use the cold-weather staple apple cider—plus apples and more cinnamon—to turn plain cinnamon rolls into monkey bread. My boys love the sticky sweetness. —Kelly Walsh, Aviston, Illinois
Ingredients
-
5 envelopes (0.74 ounce each) instant spiced cider mix
-
3 tubes (12.4 ounces each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
-
2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
-
6 tablespoons butter, melted
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine cider mixes. Separate cinnamon rolls, setting aside icings; cut each roll into quarters. Add to cider mixture; toss to coat.
-
2.
Arrange a third of the dough pieces in a well-greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; top with half of the apples and half of the pecans. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining dough.
-
3.
Mix melted butter, cinnamon and icing from 1 container until blended. Drizzle over top of rolls. Bake until golden brown, 45-50 minutes. (If needed, cover top loosely with foil during last 5 minutes to prevent overbrowning.)
-
4.
Immediately invert monkey bread onto a serving plate; keep pan inverted 10 minutes, allowing bread to release. Remove pan. Meanwhile, microwave remaining icing, uncovered, until softened, about 10 seconds. Drizzle over monkey bread. Serve warm.
