Description

Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a delightful twist on classic apple pie, featuring tender cinnamon-spiced apple filling and gooey caramel candy wrapped inside flaky biscuit dough, baked to golden perfection. These bite-sized treats are perfect for sharing and make an indulgent dessert or snack option.

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. Prepare and Cook the Apple Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the peeled and finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten each one into an even, thin round using your fingers, rolling pin, or tortilla press. This helps them hold more filling and wrap securely without tearing.
  3. Fill and Seal the Dough Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the prepared apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one piece of caramel candy atop the apple filling. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Once sealed, gently roll each into a ball shape.
  4. Arrange and Top the Dough Balls: Place each filled dough ball seam side down in the prepared greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to encourage a golden crust. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for added aroma and flavor.
  5. Bake and Serve: Bake the filled dough balls in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer carefully to a serving platter. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Ensure to seal the dough balls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Use fresh, tart apples like Granny Smith for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Optionally sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra sweetness and crunch.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey caramel experience.
  • These bombs can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
