Apple Pie Monkey Bread

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cans {7.5 oz/10 count} homestyle Pillsbury biscuits
• 1 20 oz can sliced apple pie filling
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter.
• For the glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 4-8 tablespoons milk

Mix the cut biscuits into the apple mixture, making sure to mix everything really well so the apple mixture is coating everything.  Spray a Bundt pan generously with cooking spray and then pour the biscuit and apple mixture into the pan.  Bake at 350˚F for 40-50 minutes or until the bread is baked through.  Once you remove from the oven invert the pan onto a plate while it is still hot so that all that gooey goodness doesn’t stick to the pan.

Whip up a quick cinnamon glaze with powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and a little milk.  Drizzle it over the top and then just pull of chunks of the gooey, cinnamony, appley, goodness and enjoy!
