Description
Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a delightful treat filled with a warm apple filling and gooey caramel, all wrapped in a crispy dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 peeled and finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Once cooked, set the apple filling aside to let it cool slightly.
- Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten each one using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press until you have an even, thin round.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the prepared 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 it completely. Once sealed, gently roll each filled biscuit into a ball shape.
- Place each filled dough ball seam side down into the prepared, greased baking dish. Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter and optionally sprinkle cinnamon sugar over them.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the caramel apple pie bombs to a serving platter. Serve warm with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a twisted variation, add chopped nuts to the apple filling.
- These can be made ahead and frozen before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
