This sticky Instant Pot caramel apple monkey bread is so addicting and easy to make with ready made cinnamon rolls! If it’s hot and you’re not about to turn on your oven this is the new way to bake!
I know y’all have had monkey bread but have you made it in your pressure cooker??? It is so easy and this Instant Pot caramel apple monkey bread is so addicting you’ll want to make it for breakfast or brunch over and over again!! It is easy to throw together, pour in your bundt pan (you’ll need a special one, link below). and it comes out as sticky and gooey as you see here! It’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. (originally published 8/17)
I top it with the frosting packet that comes with the cinnamon rolls you use so there’s nothing else you need to buy.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Instant Pot monkey bread
- Instant Pot – this is the one I have
- 6 cup bundt pan
- Caramel bits
- Grands cinnamon rolls
- Diced apple
- Nuts – optional but yummy
- Butter
- Brown sugar
You’ll need the small trivet that comes with your Instant Pot.
Once your Instant Pot monkey bread is done, flip it right over and enjoy on a plate. It may just fall apart though and that’s okay.
The cinnamon rolls come with icing packets so I just use those. Warming them in the microwave for about 5 seconds so it pours over the top well.
YES!! It comes out this sticky when you flip it over!! Loaded with cinnamon, sticky caramel pieces, warm apples, and the walnuts are a great addition for taste and texture…but of course those are optional.

Whether you make it for dessert, breakfast, or for brunch when other people come over it is just delicious! You’ll never buy a store bought monkey bread after tasting this one I promise. 🙂

- Spray the inside of your 6 c. bundt pan with non stick spray.
- Pour in cinnamon roll mixture.
- Pour butter mixture on top evenly.
- Cover bundt pan with a piece of paper towel to cover, then a piece of foil wrapped around tightly.
- Put a trivet at the bottom of your Instant Pot and pour 2 c. of water around it.
- Make a sling out of foil, put bundt pan on top and lower into Instant Pot or pressure cooker so it rests on top of your trivet.
- Close the lid and steam valve and set to manual, pressure, high, for 22 minutes. (if putting in the oven set to the time and temperature on the cinnamon roll package. Check and add a few minutes if you need to until slightly golden brown on top).
- Do a natural release
- Carefully lift out, remove foil, and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before flipping over if you want it to stay in tact. If you want it warm flip over immediately, it just may not stay in tact as a pretty looking bundt (but really who cares).
