Apple Fritter Bread – A quick, easy fall breakfast or dessert. Biscuit dough rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar, layered with apples, baked until caramelized and finished with a simple glaze.

Apple Fritter Bread

Apple fritters from a bakery are irresistible, and this recipe captures that same warm, cinnamon-sweet flavor in an easy, shareable loaf. Instead of frying, this version combines the flavors of apple fritters with the pull-apart fun of monkey bread. Using canned biscuits keeps the prep quick while fresh apples add bright, tender bites throughout.

This is a great recipe for a weekend brunch or a cozy dessert. It’s forgiving, quick to assemble, and finishes with a powdered sugar glaze that melts into the warm bread for a sticky, sweet topping.

How to make apple fritter monkey bread

Step 1 – Cut up biscuits

Remove the biscuits from the can and cut each one into four equal pieces. Roll each piece lightly to form a ball.

Step 2 – Roll each biscuit and coat with cinnamon sugar

Place the dough balls into melted butter, then toss in a mixture of white and brown sugar with cinnamon. Arrange half of the coated balls in the prepared pan in an even layer.

Step 3 – Add in apples

Scatter half of the chopped apples over the first layer of dough balls. Choose firm, sweet-tart apples so they hold their shape and balance the sugars.

Step 4 – Repeat

Repeat the butter, sugar, dough, and apple layers with the remaining coated biscuit balls and apples until the pan is filled.

Step 5 – Bake

Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender. A longer bake ensures the center cooks through without the edges burning.

Step 6 – Top with glaze

Whisk powdered sugar with a little milk until the glaze reaches a drizzling consistency. Let the bread cool about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf so it melts into the crevices.
