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

Dough and Filling

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 pieces caramel candy

Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
  3. Assemble Pie Bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a roughly 4-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling in the center, then add a piece of caramel candy on top. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal completely, forming a ball.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each ball generously with the melted butter. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for extra flavor and a crunchy finish.
  5. Bake the Pie Bombs: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving to allow the caramel to set a bit inside.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy filling.
  • Ensure the caramel candies are wrapped in parchment or foil and remove the wrapper before baking.
  • If the dough seams do not seal completely, the filling may leak during baking.
  • These bombs are best served warm for gooey filling experience.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best texture.
