The perfect recipe for beginners to cooking in their Crock-Pot Express, this monkey bread is super easy to make and yields a warm cinnamon-y dessert that is just so good!
Spray a bundt cake pan that fits inside your Crock-Pot Express with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the insert of your Crock-Pot Express.
In a large zippered food storage bag, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Cut each biscuit into fourths, then place in bag with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Seal the bag, then toss thoroughly to coat the biscuit pieces.
Place half of the coated biscuit pieces into the bottom of your bundt cake pan.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture from the bag.
Pour half of the butter mixture over the biscuits in the bundt cake pan.
Place remaining biscuit pieces in the bundt cake pan, then pour the remaining half of the butter mixture over top.
Cover bundt cake pan loosely with aluminum foil, crimping the edges.
Place onto wire trivet that came with your Crock-Pot Express, then carefully place into the insert.
Close and lock the lid, making sure the valve is set to sealing.
Set on MANUAL, HIGH pressure for 25 minutes.
When the cooking time is done, let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes then carefully turn the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the lid and set aside.
Using potholders, carefully lift bundt cake pan out (it will be hot!).
Remove foil and set aside.
Place a plate over the bundt cake pan, and then flip it over to get the monkey bread out of the bundt cake pan.
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl.
Drizzle the glaze over the monkey bread, allowing it to drip over the sides.
