Description
Golden biscuit dough filled with warm cinnamon-spiced apples and gooey caramel, then coated in buttery cinnamon sugar and baked until fluffy and crisp. These easy caramel apple pie bombs are a cozy dessert perfect for fall gatherings, holidays, or quick sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup apple pie filling, finely chopped
- 8 soft caramel candies, unwrapped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: caramel sauce for serving
- Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Finely chop the apple pie filling into small pieces for easier filling.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling into the center of each biscuit.
- Place one caramel candy on top of the filling.
- Pull the dough edges around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Dip each dough ball into melted butter, then coat evenly in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet with space between each bomb.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool for about 5 minutes before serving because the caramel center will be hot.
- Serve warm with caramel sauce, powdered sugar, or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Seal the dough carefully to prevent caramel from leaking during baking.
- Soft caramel candies create the best gooey center.
- Serve warm for the ultimate caramel texture.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Use crescent dough for a flakier pastry-style variation.
