we found that the apples should be quite small – almost diced, and this works better with the dough. We didn’t get it completely done on first try, therefore although top balls were done, the bottom did not stick together and were doughy. We put it back in the pan – they never came together but it was good enough, we are thinking with some tweaking this might be quite good. We also found that there was intense caramelization in the bottom of pan (which would be top of bread). We upped the cinnamon for the apples as we like a stronger cinnamon taste (we may also use an apple spice next time).

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa - how fun that you made it and will enjoy it in the morning. You eat it like a pull-apart bread and tear the segments apart to eat it. Enjoy!

Hi, I’m from Germany, and I made this yummie cake just now – it’s now in the fridge. It looks already mouthwatering!! First thing tomorrow morning will be let it rise once more and pop it in the oven.
My question is: how do you eat the cake when it’s done? Do you tear the segments apart or do you cut it like a usual cake? (I have never seen nor eaten monkey bread)
Thanks for sharing a great recipe and best regards from Germany

Hi Lucy – I haven’t tried it, but it should be fine. I’ve done bread dough in the fridge for 5 days and it rises beautifully when baked.

Just wondering if I make this the day before will it need to be cooked earlier in the day the next day. I’m planning on making it but it’s for tomorrow evening. Wasn’t sure if the yeast will drop if it’s left in the fridge too long.

Hi Jenn – the beauty of using a bundt pan is that it also cooks from the inside out. You could use another type of baking dish, you’ll probably need to increase your cook time – and be careful not to overfill the pan or you’ll have a mess on your hands.

This question may be a silly question but do you have to use a bundt pan to bake this in? I’m asking because I don’t own a bundt pan but I’d love to make, well lets face it, all of the monkey bread recipes I can find that are completely made from scratch. I’m fine with buying a bundt pan just for monkey bread since it sounds and looks devilishly delicious, was just curious if you could use something else, like a round cake pan or a rectangular glass baking dish. Thank you to whom ever answers my question.

In reply to liz | carpé season. Hi Liz - so glad you thought it was a great recipe, even if it wasn't as pretty as you'd hoped. I think you're right, waiting the extra time probably caused the problem unmolding it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment so others won't have the same experience.

Me again. I’ve been reading other monkey bread recipes / comments and am seeing that it unmolds best if you flip it out pretty quickly after it comes out of the oven. I am guessing I left mine in the pan too long – about 10 minutes (thinking 5 mins. was a minimum)…do you agree that might have been the problem?

Quick question – I tried making this today for the first time, and it was delicious! However, despite greasing my pan within an inch of it’s life, the monkey bread ring fell apart when I flipped it, even after I let it cool for the recommended 5 minutes. We just ate the toppled balls out of a bowl, still delicious, but not nearly as pretty.
Wondering if you have any suggestions or if anyone else has had an issue with this?
(PS – I used my most faithful bundt pan that I can usually turn things out of without problem, so I’m wondering if I didsomething wrong here 🙂 )
GREAT RECIPE!
