Hey, y'all! Our weekend playdates have now escalated into one of my new favorite traditions: Weekend Brunch with Framily! This weekend we were joined by our friends S&C, their 7 kids, and our buddies J&D. I love how comfortable all of the kids are with us. Two of their boys ran around to the back of the house and immediately started playing and another one of them rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a waffle and an apple and turned on the TV.
Our brunches are so much fun! The kids play in the pool, in the bounce house or with all of our outdoor toys while we sit around eating great food and drinking mimosas. This weekend, I had a couple of requests for the menu. Ashley wanted Chicken & Waffle Sliders, and C wanted my Sausage, Cheese, and Hashbrown Casserole. I, however, was craving something a little sweeter: Apple Fritter Casserole.
This recipe was inspired by Apple Pie Monkey Bread. Instead of using traditional biscuit dough, I substitute cinnamon rolls. I love the way the cinnamon and sugar elevate this dish to a whole new level. People have absolutely devoured this dish every time I've made it.
If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, this dish tastes great with vanilla ice cream piled on top!
