Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
• cooking spray
• ½ stick butter, melted
• 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and chopped into 20 chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.

Step 3

Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Add apple chunks and stir to coat thoroughly. Set aside.

Step 4

Divide dough into 20 pieces. Wrap 1 piece of dough around a coated apple chunk and pinch to seal shut. Dip in melted butter, then roll in brown sugar. Arrange balls of dough in even circles in the prepared pan.

Step 5

Carefully invert pan onto a large plate so caramel mixture runs over each piece. Cool briefly before serving.
