Then add 2 - 3 tablespoons of cinnamon. (I LOVE loads of cinnamon!)
Add 1 cup of light brown brown sugar.
Mix it up really well. You will roll your canned biscuit pieces in this. The light brown sugar adds a bit of sweetness.
Next comes 4 cans of Homestyle Biscuits torn into bite sized pieces.
Place pecan halves in bottom of bundt pan. (Do NOT use a tube pan like this, it will leak but I couldn't find my bundt pan.)
Roll biscuit pieces in your sugar mixture
Then start placing them in your pan. Do not press down, just layer them. (I made one full layer all the way around.)
Cut the apple pie slices into small chunks. This will allow the monkey bread to still hold together and give you a nice amount of apple.
Layer on top of your biscuit pieces.
Next, Sprinkle your pecan pieces on top of apples in a nice, thin layer. Then repeat the previous steps of layering biscuits, apples, pecans until you run out and pan is full. Leave about a 1 inch at the top.
Set aside.
Glaze:
Add butter, 1 and 1/3 cup of light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla (not pictured) to a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil
When it is in a full boil, allow to boil for one minute, stirring constantly. It should thicken into a thin syrup.
Pour your syrup over the layers in your bundt pan.
Your glaze should cover every bit of your Monkey Bread dough.
Bake at (preheated) 400 degrees F for 45 - 60 minutes. You can use a fork to make sure biscuit pieces are done and no longer doughy. It took mine a good hour to fully bake. Then allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes. It will be HOT!
Turn your Monkey Bread out onto a pretty plate.
Slice it up and enjoy with a nice big mug of coffee or good cold milk.
