Apple Stuffed Monkey Bread

I can’t believe the chagim are almost here. To many people September symbolizes a fresh start whether a new school year, a new season, or in my mind a new year. A fresh start means new opportunities and possibilities. It’s also a time to try things you never have before and if you have never tried monkey bread, believe me, now is the time.

This apple-stuffed monkey bread is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The combination of apples and cinnamon with a sticky glaze makes this dessert irresistible. Traditionally when making an easy monkey bread recipe, people will use canned biscuit dough. Unfortunately, that’s one item that has not hit the kosher scene. We substituted easily found frozen pizza dough for a shortcut that saves on time and energy.

There is a fair bit of prep time involved in this recipe as you stuff multiple small balls of dough with apples. However, this is a great place to get kids involved. Let them stuff the dough and place it in the tin. Not only will it keep them busy but it will also get them interested in helping in the kitchen.

If you decide one thing for Rosh Hashana this year, make this dessert. It will be a showstopping piece and taste delicious to boot. Shana Tova U’Mesukah to all of our readers!
