Caramel Apple Pecan Monkey Bread is a family favorite brunch recipe that you need to try! Soft bread is tossed with a sweet caramel sauce, tart apples and crunchy pecans for a sweet morning treat you are sure to love.
For this Caramel Apple Pecan Monkey Bread, I took my mom’s classic pull-apart caramel roll recipe and added my own little spin. The addition of tart apples and crunchy pecans are a welcome addition to our family favorite we have enjoyed for many years. I have been sharing lots of comfort food recipes that evolved from my mom’s old recipes lately, like these Airfryer Crispy Roasted Onion Potatoes and Cheesy Taco Pasta Skillet. I would say that it is just that time of year with the crisp fall weather, but to be completely honest, I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that I am 6 months pregnant! 😉
I don’t know what it is, but I have just had a desire for the old comforting classics that my mom made growing up. Naturally I have to put my own spin on them, but I haven’t veered too far away from the tried and true. This Caramel Apple Pecan Monkey Bread is no exception. I used the exact same caramel recipe my mom served us on the weekend for breakfast our entire lives, but just added a couple new elements. It turned out to be a great choice in the end!
Monkey bread is one of those things that can be intimidating if you think about using yeast dough. We are not about to get all ambitious up in here and make our own dough from scratch. That is most definitely not on my lazy pregnant agenda these days! Instead, we are going to use trusty frozen bread dough. This bread is practically as good as the homemade stuff and just requires extra time to let it rise.
You could go the super lazy route and use canned sweet roll dough, but let’s be honest here, that stuff just isn’t the same. When it is fresh out of the oven, it usually tastes about the same, but it doesn’t have the same lifespan of yeast dough. With a good yeast dough, you can still enjoy a tender bread hours, if not days later. In my opinion, it is definitely worth the little extra hassle and time that it requires.
