Recipe View 15 mins Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Cool for an additional 5 minutes before drizzling generously with the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll cans. Serve warm and enjoy! (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the melted butter before drizzling it over the dough.
To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
If you don’t have a fluted tube pan, you can use a regular cake pan or even a cast-iron skillet. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, depending on your preference.
The monkey bread is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    My cinnamon roll dough didn't have icing. Can I use my own?

  • Sterling Kuvalis

    I added a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking, and it was the perfect sweet-and-salty combination!

  • Clara Mccullough

    This recipe was so easy to follow, and the monkey bread turned out amazing! My family devoured it in minutes.

  • Vickie Mccullough

    The timing was spot on, and the bread was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again!

  • Garland Runolfsson

    I think the nutmeg is too strong. I might skip it next time.

  • Elenor Schulist

    I didn't have walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead, and it was just as delicious!
