Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
500g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 tsp yeast
5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
1 apple
160g
1/2 cup maple syrup
120g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepping the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (55g) of butter. Remove from heat and stir in the milk until the mixture is lukewarm.
- Add the milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix in the egg.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Sticky Coating and Filling:
- While the dough is rising, prepare the sticky coating by melting the remaining 1/4 cup (55g) of butter.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, toss the chopped walnuts and diced apple together.
3. Assemble the Monkey Bread:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
- Dip each dough ball into the melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Layer the coated dough balls in a bundt pan, scattering the walnut and apple mixture in between the layers of dough balls.
4. Adding the Maple Syrup Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and heavy whipping cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the dough balls in the bundt pan.
5. Final Rise:
- Cover the bundt pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
6. Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the monkey bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, sticky goodness of the apple, walnut, and maple monkey bread!

Tips:

- Make sure your yeast is fresh to ensure the dough rises properly.

- Let the dough rest for at least an hour to achieve the perfect texture.

- Use a non-stick bundt pan to prevent the monkey bread from sticking and for easy removal.

- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the dough for an extra depth of flavor.

- Consider using a mix of tart and sweet apples for a more complex taste.

- Drizzle some additional maple syrup on top of the bread before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

- Serve the monkey bread warm, as it enhances the flavors and texture.

And there you have it – a heavenly Sticky Apple, Walnut, and Maple Monkey Bread! This mouthwatering dish is sure to become a favorite among friends and family. Enjoy it warm, straight from the oven, for the best experience. Feel free to get creative with additional ingredients or variations to make it your own. Happy baking!
