Straight from the oven, monkey bread is defined by sweet, buttery flavors and occasionally, a hint of cinnamon warmth. Anything other than that, and you'd have to branch out into other unique ingredients that make monkey bread more irresistible. Of course, you can turn to what's already inside your own kitchen. Just open the fridge and grab that trusty packet of bacon, and all of a sudden, you've got a new, interesting take on monkey bread.

Monkey bread is an appealing treat no matter the time of year. It's easy to assemble, even more fun to eat, and endlessly customizable. A basic recipe for this delightful pull-apart bread typically incorporates warm flavors of cinnamon and sweet sugar, but there's a lot you can do to play with different tastes and textures. To give your next batch of monkey bread the fall flair it deserves, work apple pie filling into the mix.
