Apple Pie Bombs

Introduction

Apple Pie Bombs are a fun and easy way to enjoy all the flavors of an apple pie without the fuss of traditional pie baking.

They are coated in a delightful apple pie spice and sugar mixture for an extra burst of flavor. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack, these bombs are sure to be a hit with everyone!

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, not flaky layers)
• 1 cup apple pie filling (chop the apples into smaller pieces)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons apple pie spice (or cinnamon-sugar mixture)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for additional flavor in the filling)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• Cooking spray (for the air fryer)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Coating: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar and apple pie spice together. Set aside.
2. Prep the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit into two layers. Press each layer into a 4-inch circle, resulting in 16 circles.
3. Add the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the apple pie filling with an additional teaspoon of cinnamon, if desired. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the center of each biscuit circle.
4. Seal the Bombs: Use your fingers to fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal. Gently roll each filled dough piece into a ball shape.
5. Air Fry the Bombs: Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, place the balls into the air fryer basket about 2 inches apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-9 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Coat the Bombs: Carefully remove the apple pie bombs from the air fryer. Dip each one in melted butter and then roll in the sugar and apple pie spice mixture to coat.
7. Serve: Enjoy the apple pie bombs immediately or at room temperature.

Alternative Baking Method

If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the apple pie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Follow the coating steps as above after baking.

With a crispy outside and a gooey apple-filled center, these little bombs are perfect for serving at parties, gatherings, or whenever you crave a simple yet delicious dessert.
