What are the best apples for Apple Pie Pull Apart Bread?

Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala apples all work well. Granny Smith apples offer a tart contrast to the sugar, while sweeter apples create a milder filling.

Can I make this recipe with homemade biscuit dough?

Yes. Homemade biscuit dough can work, although the texture and baking time may differ. Check that the center is fully cooked before serving.

Why is my pull-apart bread doughy in the middle?

The biscuit layers may need more baking time, especially when they are stacked closely together with fruit filling. Continue baking until the center is cooked

Instructions

Dice the apples. Cook the apples in butter with cinnamon and sugar, gradually adding water as needed until the apples soften. About 5 to 10 minutes.
Flatten each biscuit into a round.
Dip each biscuit in melted butter, then coat with cinnamon sugar. Add about a tablespoon of cooked apples and the sauce on top of the biscuits. Then repeat with the remaining biscuits.
Place the biscuits horizontally in a bread loaf pan. Pour any reaming melted butter on top of the bisucits and then the apples.
Layer the biscuits and cooked apples in a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350°F until golden brown and cooked through in the center. Check the center carefully before removing from the oven.

Notes

Choose firm apples. Granny Smith apples provide a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp or Gala apples offer more sweetness.
