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
Assembly
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- 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 peeled and finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the apples are tender and the mixture bubbles. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit then flatten it evenly into a thin round using fingers, a rolling pin, or tortilla press, making it easier to hold more filling and fully encase it without tearing.
- Assemble Pie Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one piece of caramel candy over the filling. Carefully bring the edges of the dough together around the filling, pinching tightly to seal. Gently roll each sealed biscuit into a smooth ball shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the dough balls seam side down in the greased baking dish. Brush each with melted butter to promote browning, and optionally sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for added aroma and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls turn golden brown. Remove from the oven carefully.
- Serve: Transfer the caramel apple pie bombs to a serving platter while warm. For an indulgent touch, serve with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Peeling and finely chopping the apples ensures the filling cooks uniformly and remains tender inside the dough pockets.
- Flattening the biscuits carefully prevents tearing and allows enough space to hold the filling and caramel securely.
- Using a baking dish greased with cooking spray helps prevent sticking during baking.
- Optionally sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top adds a warm, sweet crust and enhances the aroma.
- Serve warm to enjoy the gooey caramel and soft, spiced apple filling.
