We chose cherry but blueberry or apple monkey bread would be fabulous too.

Here’s what you need to grab to make Crockpot monkey bread

1. 2 pkg. cinnamon rolls
2. 1 can pie filling
3. 1/2 cup of Vanilla frosting – optional to add to the top when done
4. Cooking spray is helpful inside your slow cooker insert for cleanup purposes

I love an easy Christmas morning breakfast recipe. We usually make this easy crockpot breakfast casserole recipe too and since I have several slow cookers I can make both. Then we are set for not only the morning but into the early afternoon if someone gets a little hungry later.

• If you’re making it for dessert just pop it in just before you are beginning to cook dinner and since it only takes 2-3 hrs cook time it will be ready when you’re done.
• I feel it turns out better on low vs. if you cook on high.

You can add vanilla or cream cheese frosting to the top if you want or just eat as is and it’s a sweet treat that is inexpensive to make and you can change it up with different flavors.

Sprinkle the top with a cinnamon sugar mixture to make it taste like a sweet french toast bake.

Cherry is wonderful as you can see but apple is amazing! That is also yummy with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. We’ve made this in muffin tins too which is fun and easy to pick up.

• If you don’t have a few hours to make this just use our apple pie monkey bread muffins recipe and get the same taste in just 20 minutes!
• Serve with a large roll of paper towels since they’re sticky.

Crock pot monkey bread the perfect holiday breakfast or brunch option.

Here’s a video showing you how we make our crockpot cinnamon roll breakfast casserole.

• Best if served immediately, just scoop out on to a plate and you can pick it apart easily with your fingers since it’s monkey bread.

To make an easy monkey bread recipe in the oven, follow these directions instead. Our apple monkey bread is amazing too.

This one does need 5 ingredients, but still super simple. You just cut each biscuit into 4-6 pieces each and dip into melted butter. Then shake in a bag with a brown sugar mixture, or just cinnamon and sugar.

Throw them into a bundt pan and bake! Wonderful easy dessert recipe, or treat yourself at breakfast.
