Oh Fall can be so delicious, don’t you think so?
Crisp apples show off at the stores begging to be enjoyed on their own or baked into something amazing. Like this Monkey Bread Apple pie, for instance.
What a killer way to, ahem, short cut things. Does homemade dough stress you out? This pie uses store bought biscuits, which is just genius. Cut them up and layer with apples, sugar, cinnamon, and of course – butter – and you’ve got yourself yourself quite the impressive pie dish that even the most novice of bakers can conquer.
Try it today, makes a killer after school surprise snack and the best part? Leftovers for breakfast.
