I was on a quest. An easy quest.
Almost embarrassed to admit this, but I’d never had monkey bread. Really. But I was determined to remedy that oversight.
It was one of those evenings where you just want something a little sweet, a little warm… and a little comforting. And I’d been thinking about monkey bread.
I didn’t want to take the time to make it from scratch. Because I really wasn’t sure I’d be a fan.
So yes… I broke out the canned cinnamon rolls. Two packages, an apple, some cinnamon sugar, a handful of walnuts, and maple syrup. That’s it.
Guess what? I’m now a fan! It’s good, and it couldn’t be easier.
