This apple pie monkey bread will keep well for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container, though it is best enjoyed within one or two days. Store it at room temperature.
If you have any leftovers (lucky you!) you can freeze it for a later date. Wrap it securely in foil and plastic wrap to protect it from freezer burn and it will keep well for one to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature to serve.
For ease and convenience I use a store bought can of apple pie filling. If you like you can make your own filling too, check out my apple pie recipe for a delicious homemade option.
Monkey bread is traditionally made in a bundt pan as it helps it to cook evenly through. You can bake it in a loaf or bread pan, just ensure that it’s cooked all the way through. If the top browns too quickly you can cover the top loosely with foil.
Tips!
- Grease the pan well before adding in the cinnamon roll and apple pie filling.
- Make sure that your oven is fully preheated before baking the bread so it cooks through evenly.
- Leftovers can be warmed through in the oven at 360F for 5 to 10 minutes.
Monkey bread has never been easier to make! 3 ingredients, 10 minutes of prep and one delicious breakfast to serve to the table!

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the cinnamon rolls in quarters.
2 cans cinnamon rolls
Chop the apple filling, so you get bite-size chunks. I like to take my kitchen shears to help get this job done.
21 oz apple pie filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon buns and apple filling.
Grease a bunt pan with nonstick spray. Pour the apple mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 45- 50 minutes or until it’s golden brown.
Allow the pan to cool for 5 minutes. While the pan is still warm, carefully place a plate over the pan and flip the monkey bread onto that plate. Drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll tubes. Serve warm and enjoy!
