Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously coat the inside of a Bundt pan with non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the apples. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender; add 1 tbsp of water if they brown too quickly. Allow to cool slightly.
Place half of the caramelized apples at the bottom of the prepared pan.
Cut each biscuit into quarters.
In a gallon Ziplock bag, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Add half of the quartered biscuits, shaking to coat them in the mixture. Evenly distribute into the pan.
Layer the remaining caramelized apples on top.
Coat the rest of the biscuit pieces and place them into the pan as well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar and melted butter. Stir until combined, then pour over the biscuits.
Bake for 30 minutes.
After baking, let the monkey bread sit for a few minutes before inverting it onto a dinner plate.
For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, apple juice, and vanilla; drizzle over the slightly cooled bread.

Notes

Use fresh apples for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of apple juice based on desired icing consistency.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
