Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Apple Butter Pull Apart Bread bakes evenly and gets a nice golden color.
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough, 1 cup of apple butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of melted butter.
- Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. This will allow for easy layering in the next steps.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
- In another bowl, pour in the melted butter. You will use this to coat the biscuit pieces.
- Take each quartered biscuit and dip it into the melted butter, making sure it is fully coated. Then, roll the buttered biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
- As you coat the biscuit pieces, layer them in a greased loaf pan. Start by placing a few pieces in the bottom, then add a layer of apple butter on top. Continue this process, alternating between layers of coated biscuit pieces and apple butter until all the biscuit pieces are used.
- Once you have finished layering, drizzle any remaining melted butter over the top of the bread. This will help it achieve a nice, crispy texture as it bakes.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before carefully transferring the bread to a serving plate.
- Serve warm, pulling apart pieces of the bread to enjoy the delicious apple butter filling. This bread is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and baking.
- Don't overmix the cinnamon-sugar coating; a light, even dusting works best.
- Choose a high-quality, flavorful apple butter for maximum taste impact.
- Grease your loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Let the bread cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set.
- For extra richness, you can add a cream cheese glaze on top after baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for unique flavor variations.
