Oh my goodness!!!  Caramel apple monkey bread-Instant Pot recipe is the best weekend breakfast that I have ever made in my Instant Pot!  The combination of the cinnamon rolls, apples, nuts and icing creates an amazing delicious, gooey breakfast that your family is sure to love!  Or, if your family is like mine…..the leftovers also turn into lunch and dessert!  🙂

One of the great things about this recipe is that it uses canned cinnamon rolls!  How easy is that?  We almost always have a can or two in the refrigerator!  Once you try this recipe, you’ll want to keep a couple of cans stocked in your refrigerator too….just in case you get the craving for monkey bread!  🙂

For this recipe, I used apples because they are in season right now and we always have a couple of apples in the house.  But, you could switch it up and make this recipe with your favorite fruit.  I think next time I might try it with peaches or maybe even bananas!  Yummmm!!!  

Tips for making Caramel Apple Monkey Bread- Instant Pot Recipe:

1. Be sure to mix the cut up cinnamon rolls with the other ingredients pretty well.  If you don’t you will end up with clumps of cooked cinnamon rolls instead of ooey gooey monkey bread.
2. Do yourself a favor and add the walnuts and pecans.  I threw them in on a whim and was so happy that I did!  They really added a nice touch.  The deep flavor and crunch were great in contrast to the sweet and soft cinnamon rolls and apples.  
3. When you take the monkey bread out of the Instant Pot, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.  Why?  If you don’t it may not set-up as well and instead of having monkey bread, you’ll end up with a pile of monkey nuggets lol.
