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 & Topping
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the filling.
- Mix the Apple Filling: In a bowl, combine the finely chopped apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to create a flavorful base.
- Cook the Apples: Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened and the mixture is fragrant.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Roll out the refrigerated biscuit dough on a clean surface and cut it into circles suitable for wrapping the filling.
- Assemble the Pie Bombs: Place a spoonful of the cooked apple filling in the center of each dough circle. Top each with one piece of caramel candy, then fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges carefully to prevent leaks.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the top of each pie bomb with melted butter to promote browning and add flavor. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for extra sweetness and crunch.
- Bake: Arrange the assembled pie bombs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure the edges of dough are well sealed to prevent caramel from leaking during baking.
- Use a rolling pin to evenly roll out biscuit dough for consistent size.
- Cinnamon sugar on top is optional but enhances flavor and appearance.
- Allow pie bombs to cool slightly before eating as caramel filling can be very hot.
