I’m on a roll making food for people other than myself, incorporating far more carbs than I eat. It’s all just a tempt-fest I must resist. Thankfully, this loaf got eaten and removed from my presence very quickly. This apple fritter-inspired pull-apart bread is fairly easy, made easier by using pre-made biscuit dough. Feel free to use your own dough if you have a recipe you like.

The assembly can be tricky, but it’s SO worth it for the outcome. the trick is all in the dough stacking into the pan. Just try to resist sampling the apple filling as it’s simmering. Seriously, you’ll be all up in its grill and the house will smell fabulous.

I think this recipe would also be amazing with some added nuts, maybe walnuts or pecans? That will definitely be part two when I next want something super indulgent for breakfast or dessert for guests. Although this probably qualifies far more as a dessert, if I’m honest.

This ended up looking a little like the very hungry caterpillar to me. At least it all ended up baking into something mostly loaf-shaped though, right? That’s all that matters.

This is where things start smelling SOOO good. Like Christmas. Or my cinnamon-scented dreams.

This stacking is easier than it looks. Just scoop the apples sparingly.

The trick here is to hold the pan up vertically and stack the dough. Then gently lower it down for baking.
