What you'll need
Preparation
- 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place 10 cupcake liners in a muffin pan.
- 2 Apple filling: In small skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; add apples and apple pie spice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl; set aside.
- 3 Monkey bread: In medium bowl, combine brown sugar and apple pie spice; set aside.
- 4 Cut each biscuit into 6 equal pieces. Place melted butter in small bowl; dip each piece biscuit into melted butter then roll in brown sugar and spice mixture to coat. Place 3 pieces biscuit in each cupcake liner; top with 1 tbsp (15 mL) apple filling, then 3 more pieces biscuit. Repeat with remaining biscuits and apple filling to make 10 monkey breads.
- 5 Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in centre. Let cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes.
- 6 Icing: Meanwhile, in bowl, combine icing sugar and vanilla with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the milk until smooth, adding more milk, 1 ½ tsp (7 mL) at a time and up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more, if needed, to make a thin glaze. Drizzle all over cooled monkey breads.
