This was delicious and simple enough to throw together while still half asleep at 5:30 a.m. Took to a brunch and it disappeared quickly. Moist from the banana but with the delicious crunch of pecans and cinnamon brown sugar topping. I did add an extra tiny pinch of nutmeg and subbed yogurt for the sour cream. I took southerncookers advice (as I often do;) and halved the Honey Bun Glaze and even that was way more than I felt was needed. My cake came out much darker than hers and than one pictured in the book at only the 35 minute mark, but definitely not over baked. Also, I think my butter for the topping got a little warm as my crumb ended up melting into the cake.

This is simple dish to throw together and though I rarely use any canned/boxed products, I went with it and followed the authors advice (and that of many others monkey bread connoisseurs) and used Pillsbury biscuits. I had no currents but can report dried cranberries work well and the diced apple is a great addition. Definitely a decadent/special occasion dish, I made this for a New Years Brunch celebration and it disappeared quickly.
