Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped into small pieces
Topping and Coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional: powdered sugar or caramel sauce for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the apple pie bombs.
- Prepare Dough Circles: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 3 to 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin to create a base for the filling.
- Fill and Seal: Place about 1 tablespoon of the chopped apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle. Bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching tightly to seal and form a ball. Position the sealed side down for baking.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the apple pie bombs in a single layer without touching, air frying in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry: Cook the bombs for 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, brush each bomb with melted butter and roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for a sweet, crunchy coating.
- Serve: Enjoy the apple pie bombs warm as they are, or optionally drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar for added indulgence.
Notes
- Be sure to seal the dough edges tightly to prevent the apple filling from leaking during air frying.
- For a homemade touch, you can substitute the canned apple pie filling with fresh cooked apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar.
- Use parchment paper in the air fryer to simplify cleanup and avoid sticking.
- Allow the bombs to cool slightly before handling to avoid burning.
