Stuffed monkey bread is an old family favorite that everyone can’t get enough of. My semi-homemade version tastes like it came straight out of the bakery!

Stuffed Monkey Bread

Apple cinnamon is certainly a popular flavor for fall in my house. I have been making this stuffed monkey bread every September for years. Whether you call it monkey bread, bubble bread, or pull apart bread, it is a must make item this fall. An easy semi homemade recipe that tastes like it came straight from the bakery. By simply using a store bought dough for this recipe, it makes baking this monkey bread a breeze.  I am a huge fan of Apple cinnamon, there is something about it I can’t get enough of.

I have been thinking about this monkey bread for months. Back at the end of July it was crazy- you walk into the stores and shelves are filled with all things Apple cinnamon. Cereals, toaster pastries, cookies, to name a few. I have tried some store bought items over the years, some were good and others didn’t have a true Apple cinnamon flavor to them. That is why when it comes that time for my Apple cinnamon cravings, I create simple recipes like this monkey bread.

To be honest my stuffed monkey bread doesn’t last very long in our house. When you bake this up, it fills the home with that glorious Apple cinnamon smell, and the whole family comes running. My stuffed monkey bread barely has time to cool before hands are reaching in and grabbing pieces of the bread. We hope you enjoy it as much as they do!
