Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • For the Apple Filling:
  • 1 cup diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • For the Bombs:
  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 8 soft caramel candies (or 1/4 cup caramel sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
  • For Coating:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.
