Ingredients

  • 1 can 16.3 ounces store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 tablespoons ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped candied cherries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
  • Cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the biscuit quarters with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, allspice, and cloves until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the coated dough pieces and any remaining sugar to a 7-inch round cake pan insert, metal cake pan, or foil pan.
  • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dough.
  • Place the pan in the air fryer and cook at 310°F (155°C) until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through in the middle, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the monkey bread cool completely.
  • Unmold from the pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and bourbon until smooth to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle the bourbon glaze over the cooled monkey bread.
  • While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the chopped candied cherries and pecans over the top.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Wine Advice:

This Bourbon and Spice Monkey Bread pairs wonderfully with a glass of sweet dessert wine, such as a late-harvest Riesling or a fortified wine like port or sherry. The rich, spicy flavors of the monkey bread complement the sweetness of these wines. Alternatively, serve with a cup of hot coffee or tea for a delightful morning or afternoon treat.
