Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Apple Pie Pull Apart Bread bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it with cooking spray or brushing it with a little melted butter to prevent the bread from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the apples evenly with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters. This will make it easier to pull apart later.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered biscuit pieces with the melted butter until they are well-coated. This adds flavor and helps the biscuits bake nicely.
- Take the butter-coated biscuit pieces and layer them in the prepared loaf pan. Start by adding a layer of biscuit pieces, then spoon some of the apple mixture over the top. Repeat this process until all the biscuit pieces and apple mixture are used, finishing with a layer of biscuit pieces on top.
- Once assembled, gently press down on the layers to ensure they stick together and the apples are nestled in well.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the bread from the pan.
- Carefully invert the loaf pan onto a serving plate or cutting board, allowing the bread to slide out. If any apples stick to the pan, gently scrape them off and place them back on top of the bread.
- Let the Apple Pie Pull Apart Bread cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
- For an extra touch, consider drizzling a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk over the top before serving.
Tips
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix: When coating biscuit pieces with butter, use a gentle tossing motion to prevent them from becoming too dense.
- Check for doneness: The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let it rest: Allowing the bread to cool for 10 minutes makes it easier to remove from the pan and helps set the layers.
- Get creative with toppings: Consider adding a vanilla glaze, sprinkling some chopped nuts, or serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store properly: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
