Apple Pie Bombs

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Rolling pin or hands for flattening dough
• Knife or kitchen shears (to cut apples)
• Mixing bowl
• Pastry brush
• Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling

1. If using canned apple pie filling, cut the apple slices into smaller chunks so they fit inside the biscuits. If you prefer homemade filling, cook chopped apples with a little butter, sugar, and cinnamon until soft.

2. Flatten the Biscuit Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Open the can of biscuits and separate each one. Using a rolling pin (or your hands), flatten each biscuit into a disc about 4-5 inches wide.

3. Fill and Seal the Bombs

1. Place a spoonful of the apple pie filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make sealing the dough difficult.
2. Bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Gently roll the dough ball in your hands to smooth the seam.
3. Place each sealed apple pie bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake the Apple Pie Bombs

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

5. Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

1. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
2. Brush each baked apple pie bomb with melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

6. Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with caramel sauce for an extra decadent touch.
2. These apple pie bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be served at room temperature as well.

Notes and Tips

• Homemade Apple Filling: If you prefer to make your apple filling from scratch, simply cook peeled, diced apples with a bit of butter, sugar, and cinnamon until soft. You can even add a splash of vanilla extract or lemon juice for extra flavor.
• Biscuit Dough Substitutes: You can also use crescent roll dough or puff pastry instead of biscuit dough for a lighter, flakier texture.
• Add a Caramel Surprise: For an extra indulgent touch, place a caramel candy or a spoonful of caramel sauce inside each bomb along with the apple filling.
• Serving Idea: For a special presentation, serve the apple pie bombs with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side.
