Instant Pot Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

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.

I top it with the frosting packet that comes with the cinnamon rolls. That way I don’t have to buy a tub.

Instant Pot monkey bread

1. Instant Pot – this is the one I have
2. 6-cup bundt pan
3. Caramel bits
   1. optional
4. Cinnamon rolls or biscuits – not Grands, regular size

You can use defrosted Rhodes cinnamon rolls, or Pillsbury refrigerated. Biscuits can be used but these are better.

Nuts are optional but yummy. Chop them and put them on the bottom of your pan so they come out on top when flipped over.

1. Butter
2. White sugar and cinnamon – cinnamon is optional if you’re using cinnamon rolls
3. Brown sugar
4. Small bowl
5. Aluminum foil – to make a sling

Use Non stick cooking spray so it comes out easily when done.

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, and the walnuts are a great addition for taste and texture. But of course those are optional.

Here are the steps you’ll take to make this:

1. Cut each cinnamon roll or biscuit into 4 equal sized pcs
2. Put sugar mixture (can add cinnamon) into large baggie
3. Add pcs. and shake so they get nice and coated
4. Melt butter and brown sugar
5. Add 1/2 biscuits to 6 cup bundt pan, pour 1/2 butter mixture on top
6. Lay remaining biscuits on top, then remaining butter mixture

Add water and trivet into your pot on the bottom. I like the one with handles so it comes out easily when timer is done.

1. Loosely cover pan with foil
2. Lower pan on top
3. Set to high pressure cooking
4. I like to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes
5. Carefully remove the bundt pan

Once monkey bread is cooled and flipped over pour this and icing packets on top

Note: I added diced apples to this one below. 1/4 c works well but will leave bundt a bit stickier.

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. 🙂
