I have made many failed attempts at Monkey Bread and I had just about given up. Then, I came across this recipe. Amazing! It was so simple and so quick to make. Made it for friends, it was gone as soon as I set it out!

This is so good!! I will say it is best if you use the metal looking muffin papers. They keep the goo in better :)

I always wanted to know what monkey bread tasted like, and decided to try this recipe. I had 2 7.5 cans of canned biscuit dough from a holiday leftover and used that. I didn't have apple pie spice so I used pumpkin pie spice, but think I would like the apple better. I just melted the butter and brown sugar, in the microwave for 1 minutes, stirring well after 30 seconds and when done. With 15oz of dough I got 9 huge pull apart muffins, cutting each dough piece into 4 with scissors. They actually have a really nice appearance out of the oven and I like the caramel sauce. Something though, keeps reminding me these still taste like fancied up biscuits. Love the idea though, of individual portions. ty

Simple receipe to follow. My son is going to a early morning potluck on Sunday so I wanted to try this out before hand...yes I use my sons a guinea pigs. I read through most of the reviews and used a lot of their suggestions from those reviews. I used the Grands Original (16 oz) which meant I needed to tweak the measurements for the mixture you rolled the pieces in. I also used a ziploc bag to get all the pieces covered completely (one biscuit cut up at a time). I used the apple slicer someone else suggested, putting 6 of those covered pieces in each liner. I was sure not to over fill the those liners with the sugar mixture by using a spoon to drizzle it on and making sure all the pieces were covered somewhat (because one review said it all pooled at the bottom). I reduced my temp to 350 degrees as someone else suggested and ended up extending the time by 2 min increments (total of 16 mins) until they were done on top and sprung back as the recipe calls for. We shared one to make sure they were done all the way through and I must say we all gave them two thumbs up.

Very tasty, and also very easy to make. Took them to work and they were a hit. I would like to try Sarah Jo's suggestion and make my own dough next time. Thanks for sharing a clever take on monkey bread.

I thought they were great! I used my own biscuit mix and seasoned in cinnamon and sugar, decided to pass on the apple spice.

Good stuff! Simple, quick, and easy to throw together for a breakfast treat. This yielded 12 muffins for me. I was out of cinnamon, but did have a little cinnamon/sugar grinder I was able to use. I can't wait to make them again w/heavy cinnamon (not a fan of apple pie spice). I chose to top w/a simple 10X sugar/milk/vanilla glaze. THANKS for the recipe, Lindsay Deaver!

This recipe is great! I made them for a pot-luck breakfast at work and everyone loved them. I followed the recipe exactly without any problems.

These were delicious! I made them exactly as the recipe said, but I could have spread the pieces out to make an extra biscuit or two if needed. Also, I did not have any apple pie spice so I made my own using 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp allspice, 1/8 tsp ginger. I baked them for the full 12min until they were a nice golden color. I saved some of the brown sugar mixture to drizzle on top after they were finished, and I'm sure glad I did b/c most of what I drizzled on before baking pooled at the bottom and was left in the pan when I took them out. Great recipe and super easy! Thanks!
