Description

These Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are delightful bite-sized treats combining tender cinnamon-spiced apples and gooey caramel wrapped in buttery biscuit dough. Perfect for a cozy dessert or festive gatherings, these sweet pockets deliver warm flavors with a crisp golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

For Assembly:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 pieces caramel candy
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  2. Prepare biscuit dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit and flatten it evenly into a thin round using your fingers, rolling pin, or tortilla press. Flattening ensures the dough encases the filling well and maximizes capacity.
  3. Assemble the bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one piece of caramel candy on top of the apple filling. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Gently roll the sealed biscuit dough into a smooth ball shape.
  4. Arrange and brush: Place each filled dough ball seam side down into the greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to promote beautiful browning. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the dough balls for added sweetness and aroma.
  5. Bake to perfection: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls turn golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and carefully transfer to a serving platter.
  6. Serve warm: Serve these caramel apple pie bombs warm for the best indulgence. For an extra special treat, accompany with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture during cooking.
  • Make sure to pinch the dough seams tightly to prevent caramel from leaking during baking.
  • Allow the apple filling to cool slightly to avoid melting the caramel too quickly inside the dough.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine.
  • These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
