Chocolate Apple Pie Monkey Bread – A sweet bread that tastes like apple pie drizzled with chocolate sauce. It is very good and very easy to make.

My love for monkey bread knows no bounds. I make monkey bread frequently and here you can find some monkey bread recipes, all different, all decadent and all delicious. If you think I’m exaggerating, don’t!

It’s a sticky bread loaded with any deliciousness you can think of. In this case I combined it with apple pie recipes, another of my favorites.

I think you get my point, although I tend to exaggerate a bit. Although, honestly, when you put a monkey bread on my face I could probably buff it off in a heartbeat, that’s how much I love these sticky gooey buns.

Of course, if you want to make this recipe even simpler, you can use apple pie filling, but I prefer fresh apples with a little brown sugar and cinnamon. Trust me, they are better. You cook them in a little butter for about 5 minutes and they caramelize so well you might want to eat them before adding them to the monkey bread.

Ingredients

• Cookies – Today we use tubes of store-bought cookie dough. May it be nice and easy for you!
• Apples – Today I used about 8 small apples, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Spices – Today we will only be using cinnamon, the quintessential apple pie flavor!
• Sugar – Brown sugar to add some notes of caramel and molasses.
• Lemon – Fresh juice of about 1 lemon. This will prevent our apples from browning too quickly and will also add some shine to our filling.
• Butter – Unsalted to control the sodium content of our dessert.
• Sauce – Store-bought chocolate sauce – totally optional but completely delicious!

Do you want to make your own cookies?

Well, you certainly are ambitious! But I won’t blame you for it, I mean, I always say fresh is best. I have a perfect recipe here on the blog for cookies, so drop in the raw dough and bake as directed in the recipe above.

How to make Apple Pie Monkey Bread

• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Grease a pan with cooking spray.
• Prepare the cookies: Cut each cookie into quarters, place them in a bowl and reserve.
• Combine the apple mixture: Mix the chopped apples with the cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Let the apple mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
• Assemble the monkey bread: Add the apples to the bowl with the cookie quarters and stir well, breaking up any cookie pieces that stick together. Add this to the prepared pan.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until golden. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then take the cake out of the pan and place it on a cake plate and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

What can I top my monkey bread with?

Some drizzled chocolate sauce would go great on top, Nutella, maybe a pinch of powdered sugar or some grated chocolate, and a dollop of whipped cream. I think I’d better stop there before I run into the kitchen and finish the rest of these.

What else can I use in my filling?

You can use many different fillings in your monkey bread! The only limit is what you can think of.

• Pecan Pie Filling
• Pumpkin
• Chocolate
• Peach
• strawberry rhubarb
• cherries
• blueberries
