Why Do They Call it Monkey Bread?
The name monkey bread comes from the way it’s eaten: by pulling apart the pieces with your fingers, the way an animal might.
To Make the Pumpkin Spice Filling
While the oven heats, prepare your filling. Add brown sugar, butter, pumpkin, cream cheese, and vanilla extract to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice to a large zip-top bag. Place biscuit pieces in the bag and shake until all the dough is well coated in the sugar-spice mixture.
