Monkey bread is an appealing treat no matter the time of year. It's easy to assemble, even more fun to eat, and endlessly customizable. A basic recipe for this delightful pull-apart bread typically incorporates warm flavors of cinnamon and sweet sugar, but there's a lot you can do to play with different tastes and textures. To give your next batch of monkey bread the fall flair it deserves, work apple pie filling into the mix.
Baking usually comes in recipe-precise ingredients and multi-step efforts, with hours upon hours of labor brought together by the oven heat. It's rarely something you throw together and be done in a flash. Unless, of course, you are making apple turnovers, and you already have the three bare essentials. Sheets of puff pastry, applesauce, and a glaze, plus just a bit of preparation and hands-off cooking, and voilà, a golden batch of fall desserts ready in no time.
