    All the flavors of apple pie in a much easier and faster version! I have to admit, this pull apart bread doesn't last as long as apple pie in my house!

    Easy Apple Bread

    This version of pull apart bread became much more popular than I anticipated!

    Not only did my husband eat half of this loaf in one sitting, but after also innocently posting it to my Snapchat, I got countless messages!

    It looks delicious... it IS delicious! It's all of your favorite flavors from apple pie packed into an amazing pull apart bread covered in a delicious glaze.

    Easy Apple Bread Recipe Ingredients

    • Pillsbury Grands flaky layers biscuits
    • Granny smith apples
    • Unsalted butter
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Sugar
    • Powdered sugar

    Do the apples have to be peeled?

    Yes. It’s important to peel the apples for the best results. You’ll have tender, delicious apples without any bitterness from the peel.

    What are the best apples for baking?

    I chose to use granny smith apples because I love their taste and texture with cooking. They stand up well and don't get too soggy. If you prefer a different variety of apples, by all means, use what you prefer!

    I love apple pie, but I'm not always up for making an entire apple pie.

    I've always loved any version of a pull-apart loaf. Whether it's my pizza pull apart (I'll post the recipe soon), or just some old-school monkey bread, I love pull aparts. This pull-apart loaf brings all the flavors of apple pie in a much easier, much faster version. I have to admit this doesn't last as long as apple pie in my house either!

    How to Make Apple Bread - Pull Apart Version

    This pull apart bread comes together so easily and really is a breeze to make. When you're putting it together, just be sure to only do stacks of 4 at a time and you'll have no problems at all.

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Grease the inside of a standard loaf pan with cooking spray, set aside.
    3. To a skillet, add the apples, 2 Tbsp of cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp of sugar.
    4. Mix to combine and cook over medium heat until apples have softened.
    5. Remove from heat and set aside.
    6. Take each of the biscuits and peel the layers in half to have 16 thinner biscuits.
    7. Brush butter onto one side of each biscuit.
    8. Sprinkle each biscuit with the remaining cinnamon and sugar (evenly dividing the 4 Tbsp of each between all biscuits).
    9. Add a small layer of apples to one of the biscuits.
    10. Top with another biscuit and layer with a small layer of apples.
    11. Continue this until you have 4 biscuits total.
    12. Turn them on their side and lay them in the loaf pan.
    13. Continue this, doing a stack of 4 biscuits at a time to the loaf pan until all biscuits have been used.
    14. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes (you need the middle part of the loaf to be fully cooked). You may need longer. Be sure the middle part of the loaf is fully cooked.
    15. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
    16. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with water.
    17. Mix until it makes a thick drizzle consistency.
    18. Pour drizzle over the loaf and serve!

    Tips for the Best Apple Pull-Apart Bread

    • Be sure to only do stacks of 4 at a time and you’ll have no problems
    • Don’t worry about the stacks being perfect. The best part about pull-apart bread are the imperfect stacks.

    How to Store and Freeze Apple Pie Filling Bread

    You can freeze the Apple Pie Filling Bread for up to 6 months. The apples may change texture a bit. Once the bread has cooled completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in an airtight, freezer-safe container.

      Oh em goodness! One of my absolute favorites! I made this for a dessert when we had friends over and it was a huge hit. I was a little sad there weren't any leftovers for breakfast but it just gave me an excuse to make more 🙂

    Grilling season is in full swing at my house. This Coastal Marinated Grilled Chicken is a favorite. It’s easy to make and packed with flavor. It had a honey lime base with soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and garlic.

    Saying goodbye to my first baby is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m broken. I’m overwhelmed with grief. I’m not okay. I’ve been unable to write this post every time I’ve tried, so I’ll share what Jacob wrote in my stories ❤️
