Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Assembly

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 pieces caramel candy
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray to ensure the pie bombs don’t stick and bake evenly.
  2. Cook Apple Filling: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the peeled, finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten it evenly into a thin round using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press to create space for the filling without tearing the dough.
  4. Fill and Seal Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with one piece of caramel candy. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Gently roll each sealed biscuit into a smooth ball shape.
  5. Arrange and Add Finishing Touches: Place each dough ball seam side down in the greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for extra aroma and sweetness.
  6. Bake the Pie Bombs: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to a serving platter.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the caramel apple pie bombs warm. For an indulgent touch, accompany with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Ensure the apple filling cools slightly before assembling to prevent dough from becoming soggy.
  • Stretch the biscuit dough gently to avoid tearing, which can lead to filling leakage during baking.
  • Sealing the edges tightly is crucial to keep the caramel and apple filling inside during baking.
  • Optional cinnamon sugar on top adds a lovely crunch and extra flavor but can be omitted for less sweetness.
  • These can be reheated gently in the oven for serving later but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Use a baking dish that fits the bombs snugly to help them keep their shape while baking.
