"Mini" is always more fun when you're in the kitchen with kids.
Try this Mini Apple Pie Monkey Bread recipe with the kiddos for a sweet, but not-too-sweet, dessert or breakfast treat. Get the full recipe down below!
Earlier this week my daughter and I made this savory monkey bread at dinner. As we were throwing the ingredients together, we decided we needed to make our own dessert version.

Additional Notes
A couple of additional notes about the recipe:
A friend recently introduced me to Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. Oh, my word. It makes everything delicious. I can never go back to traditional vanilla. I highly recommend it for this recipe.
This Monkey Bread is delicious when served fresh out of the oven a la mode.
I was worried the individual servings would be dry as leftovers, but they were still delicious and moist after being in a covered container in the fridge.
Make Kitchen Time Educational
This recipe is the perfect opportunity to slip in a little math in the kitchen. Be sure to use the eight biscuits cut into eight pieces as an opportunity to play with fractions or multiplication.
If you know you're going to make the recipe ahead of time, be sure to reserve some books from the library. Here are a few of my favorite apple finds.
Quick LIBRARY Reservation Tip: When I would search by title for books on my library site I’d often have a hard time finding things. My librarian suggested searching by ISBN number instead. Each book has a unique ISBN number and many libraries catalog using this information. You can find this information on Amazon by scrolling down to the “Product Description” section (image below).
