How to Serve Apple Pull-Apart Bread

You can serve Apple Pull-Apart Bread warm or at room temperature. It’s great on its own, but you can also add a drizzle of icing or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for extra sweetness.

How to Store Apple Pull-Apart Bread

Store any leftover Apple Pull-Apart Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Tips to Make Apple Pull-Apart Bread

• For extra flavor, you can add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple mixture.
• If you want a stronger apple flavor, use a variety of apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
• Be careful not to overmix the batter; this keeps the bread light and fluffy.

Variation (if any)

You can easily make a cinnamon sugar version by replacing half of the brown sugar with cinnamon sugar. Just mix 1 tablespoon of cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar and sprinkle it over the layers as you build your bread.
