Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Reduced-fat refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the bread will not stick.
Open the packages of reduced-fat refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
Cut each biscuit into quarters and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Roll each biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well-coated.
Layer the coated biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared bundt pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture occasionally, bringing it to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully pour the applesauce mixture over the layered biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Serve warm, pulling apart the delicious pieces to enjoy!
