Inside: A crave-able and share-able Country Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread that is just the thing for Fall!

I might have mentioned it before, but my husband loves donuts. At least once a week he treats himself and the girls with a trip to our local donut shop.

His donut of choice? Apple fritters — rich (and usually pretty large) bundles of cinnamon dough and apple pie filling. They’re addicting!

What are the Best Type of Apples to Use?

Gala apples are my favorite because they are mild and sweet. They taste amazing in this recipe! If you’d like to make it a little less sweet, try using Granny Smith Apples.

Can You Use Any Type of Biscuit?

For this recipe, it is important to use flaky-style biscuits because they are made to pull apart into layers. This is crucial for putting our apple filling between slices and for getting the “pull apart” effect after baking. Southern style biscuits are crumbly as opposed to flaky, so they won’t be right for this recipe.

How to Make Apple Pull Apart Bread

Combine diced apples, brown sugar, and spices in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until apples have browned and softened and sauce is thick (stir occasionally to prevent scorching). Set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Remove biscuits from can and peel apart layers until you have 16 biscuit halves.

Spoon about a tablespoon of cooked apple filling onto each biscuit piece.

Stack the biscuits on top of one another, forming stacks 4-5 biscuits high. Arrange biscuits in the loaf pan, carefully turning stacks on their sides as you do so. Make sure that plain biscuit is on each end of the loaf and that filling does not touch the pan.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. (We like our biscuits a little on the softer side – if you prefer yours a bit more “done” bake for 35 minutes).

Remove foil cover and continue baking until golden brown (about 5-8 minutes).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes in pan before placing bread on another surface.

Drizzle glaze liberally over the top of the country apple fritter bread, allowing glaze to run down the sides.

    I think I will use the recipe for the dough in your pumpkin pull apart bread instead of the biscuits. I don’t like canned biscuits. Thanks for the recipe. Also I like just cinnamon. Do I need to use extra in place of the other spices?

      I think it probably depends on how much cinnamon flavor you like. I would probably add a pinch more, but I LOVE cinnamon. 🙂

    The instructions are vague. Do you put cinnamon and sugar on the dough, cause your photo looks like you put cinnamon on the dough. After you fill the dough with the filling do you top it with another piece of dough? What do you mean turn them of the side? Do you fill all 16 pieces of dough with filling?

      The printable recipe card has the detailed directions — there should be filling between each biscuit, except that the two biscuits on each end of the entire stack won’t have filling on the outside. Sometimes it’s hard to explain things in text, but hopefully this helps!

    Can you please clarify how many cans of biscuits to use? It says 2 cans, which is 16 biscuits. Then it says split in half til you have 16 halves. Also said it serves 4, but 16 biscuits is a lot for 4 people.

      I used grands biscuits which have 8 per can, so when split in half they’re 16. Hope this helps!
