Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Pie Bombs
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup apple pie filling (homemade or canned)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar, for serving
- Caramel sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Flatten biscuits: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces and flatten each one into approximately 4-inch rounds to prepare for filling.
- Add filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling into the center of each flattened dough round, making sure not to overfill to prevent leaking.
- Seal and roll: Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal each into a ball-shaped bomb, ensuring there are no open seams.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
- Air fry: Place the apple pie bombs seam-side down inside the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and fully cooked. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Cinnamon sugar coating: While the bombs are still warm, brush them generously with melted butter, then roll each one in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to coat evenly.
- Serve: Optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce before serving. Enjoy these apple pie bombs warm for the best gooey and crispy experience.
Notes
- You can use homemade or store-bought apple pie filling according to convenience.
- Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
- Preheating the air fryer helps achieve the perfect crispy crust.
- These bombs are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on the size and model of your air fryer.
