Slow Cooker Apple Monkey Bread is a gooey, cinnamon-sugar pull-apart treat made with biscuit dough and apples, cooked to sticky perfection in the slow cooker—ideal for brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: vanilla glaze or cream cheese frosting for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Cut each biscuit into quarters or bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss biscuit pieces in cinnamon-sugar until fully coated.
  3. Grease a 5–6 quart slow cooker insert. Layer half of the biscuit pieces on the bottom, followed by half of the diced apples and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Repeat layers.
  4. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, until dough is cooked through and golden on the edges. Do not lift the lid while cooking.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with glaze or frosting if desired.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
  • Line the slow cooker with parchment or use a liner for easier cleanup.
  • Add chopped nuts or caramel sauce between layers for extra richness.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • To make a simple glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 teaspoons milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
