My family really enjoyed this breakfast. Although it’s not the healthiest option, it is perfect for a special occasion treat! I loved that it was so easy and the presentation is so pretty. Enjoy!
Try out another classic like our Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie!
Do you leave the apples in whole slices or chop them into smaller pieces?
Can you prepare this the night before and then bake in the morning?
I don’t have a bundt pan, can i use a loaf pan?
I chopped my apples into cubes. I had 3 smaller apples. I also used the cinnamon biscuits from ALDI which are smaller. I only had 2 tubes but next time I will try 3. I baked it 35 minutes and didn’t melt the butter, just cut it into small pieces. I also sprinkled the leftover cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top. With all these changes, it turned out GREAT!! Whole fam loved it!!!
I used a Bundt pan. Used 2 apples, but think 3 would have been better. Baked 40 minutes but maybe 35 would work. Best served heated in microwave for about 20 seconds.
