Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Country biscuits (10 pieces per can) or 1 can of Grands biscuits

Filling

  • 1 cup roughly chopped apple pie filling

Topping

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Roughly chop your apple pie filling if it isn’t already, ensuring bite-sized pieces for easy stuffing into the biscuits.
  2. Shape the bombs: Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly to make a small disk. Place about a tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each dough piece.
  3. Seal the bombs: Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal completely, forming a ball. Ensure there are no gaps where filling could leak out.
  4. Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
  5. Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each dough ball generously with melted butter on all sides.
  6. Coat with cinnamon sugar: Roll the buttered balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure each bomb is well coated for a sweet, crunchy crust.
  7. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Cook the bombs: Place the apple pie bombs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool and serve: Carefully remove from the air fryer and allow the apple pie bombs to cool for a few minutes to avoid burning from hot filling. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the seams of the biscuit dough are sealed tight to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • You can substitute apple pie filling with other fillings like cherry or peach preserves for variety.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the bombs in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
