FAQs

Can I use homemade pie dough instead of biscuit dough?

Yes! Homemade or store-bought pie crust works well but will be less fluffy.

Can I use fresh apples instead of pie filling?

Absolutely! Sauté diced apples with sugar and cinnamon for a homemade filling.

How do I keep the caramel from leaking out?

Make sure to seal the dough tightly and place the seam side down while baking.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Can I air fry these instead of baking?

Yes! Air fry at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, checking for golden brown color.

What’s the best caramel to use?

Soft caramel candies like Werther’s Soft Caramels work best for a gooey center.

Can I add a glaze instead of cinnamon-sugar?

Yes! A simple powdered sugar glaze drizzled on top is delicious.

Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuit dough?

Yes, but reduce baking time slightly as puff pastry bakes faster.

Are these good served cold?

They taste best warm, but they’re still delicious at room temperature.

What can I serve these with?

They pair well with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a caramel drizzle.

Description

These Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are soft, buttery biscuit dough filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and gooey caramel. Baked (or fried) to golden perfection and coated in cinnamon sugar, they’re an easy and delicious handheld dessert! Perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or a cozy treat at home.

Instructions

:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the apple filling: In a small pan over medium heat, cook apples, sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch for 3-5 minutes until soft and syrupy. Let cool.
Prepare the biscuit dough: Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture and a caramel candy in the center of each.
Seal the bombs: Pinch the edges of the dough together to fully enclose the filling, rolling into a smooth ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake: Brush each bomb with melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Coat in cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. While warm, roll each bomb in the mixture for a sweet coating.
Serve warm and enjoy! Optionally, drizzle with extra caramel sauce or serve with ice cream.

Notes

:
For extra gooeyness, use caramel sauce instead of candies.
Make it crispy: Fry in 350°F oil for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown instead of baking.
Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes.
