We are considering a flight from Newark to Palermo that has a 1hr and 35 min layover in Munich. For those of you who have travelled through the Munich airport, is that enough time?

Provided the flights are on one ticket: Yes. In the event of a delay, the airline is responsible for your onward transportation. Otherwise: Far too risky.
If you are flying with airlines using Terminal 2 (Star Alliance), 1:25 is a lot of time. If you have to change from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, it will take a little longer. Take the bus that shuttles between the terminals so you can stay airside.

Munich is one of the few airports where quick connections are not as risky. The key is one ticket.

Yes, that is ample time for a connection at MUC - even if on separate tickets provided you don't check bags.

It’s enough time assuming your flight isn’t delayed in Newark. I wouldn’t depend on that necessarily. Is this on one ticket? How many flights to Palermo are there after yours if you miss that flight?

Just picking a random date (May 6), there is only one departure from Munich to Palermo at 9:10 am, If you were coming from Newark on United, this would be a 1 hr 35 min change time.
If, instead, you flew on United to Zurich, you would have a 3 hour and 45 minute change time, plus the option of a later flight.
