We Love ‘Shortcuts’ to Make our Monkey Bread Easier!
This monkey bread has shortcuts that make this recipe easy and quick to make! We used canned biscuits and microwaved apples to speed up the process, followed by a super simple homemade caramel sauce
If you happen to have leftovers, just seal it good and warm it up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a quick reheat. Also, delicious room temperature, I might add, with a side of coffee.
