Apple Pecan Monkey Bread

written by foodloveplay November 25, 2020
Apple Pecan Monkey Bread

It’s Fall Y’all! We even had a “cold front” on Sunday to give us the Fall season kick off. I mean, it was only 88 degrees. That is wool socks and sweatpants weather! Just kidding. It did, however, get me even more in the mood for all the Fall smells – apples, pecans and cinnamon.

As I might have mentioned before, apples are one of my favorite things to cook with. They have so many different flavors profiles and can be used where you didn’t really think they could. While apple pie is still one of the best ways to use apples, you can diversify. I promise, it’ll be okay. You can make pie next week so it doesn’t get jealous.

In the meantime, this apple pecan monkey bread is amazing. Buttermilk biscuits cut into bite size pieces, coated in cinnamon, two different sugars and melted butter. THEN throw in some apples tossed in the same concoction and topped with delicious pecan halves and we are entering heaven-in-your-mouth territory.

I know that I will tell you each recipe posted is delicious and amazing, or that I totally love apples, but this recipe has something most don’t. Yes, it’s still delicious and amazing and it does have apples, but it’s that this dish is beautiful! Church socials, pot luck tables or a nice day with family, this dish makes a gorgeous centerpiece. It screams Fall, tastes good in Spring and will keep you warm in Winter.

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.
