  • After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350F. 
  • Once the monkey bread has risen for 45 minutes, place it in the hot oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until it's golden and the toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
  • Take the apple pie monkey bread out of the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes then transfer it into a serving plate. Serve warm. 

Notes

  • You can use store bought apple pie filling for this recipe instead of making it from scratch. 
  • If using active dry yeast, proof it in the ½ cup warm water and melt the butter in milk. Then mix the egg into the milk and butter mixture. Add the proofed yeast and milk mixture to the dry ingredients and proceed with the remaining steps.
