Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.

In large bowl, mix Bisquick™ mix and granulated sugar. In another bowl, mix next 4 dough ingredients. Add to dry ingredients in large bowl, and mix until just incorporated. Add apples; gently stir in.
3

Shape dough into tablespoon-sized portions (about 30 balls of dough).
4

In small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Dip balls of dough into the 1/2 cup melted butter; coat them in cinnamon sugar mixture, and place in pan.
5

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until monkey bread is puffed and golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn upside down onto heatproof serving plate; remove pan.
6

In small bowl, beat Glaze ingredients with whisk. Drizzle over warm monkey bread. Serve immediately.

The dough will be very sticky, so it's best to use greased fingers when portioning and shaping the dough. Lightly spray your hands and palms with cooking spray as needed.
Depending on how thick and creamy you want the glaze, you can use either heavy cream or milk.
