Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs Recipe

Introduction

These Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining tender cinnamon-spiced apples with gooey caramel wrapped in golden biscuit dough. Perfect for sharing or enjoying as a warm treat, they bring autumn flavors to your kitchen with ease.

Ingredients

• 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 pieces caramel candy
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the 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, until the apples are tender and the mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Step 2: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten each one to an even, thin round using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press. This step helps the dough hold more filling and seal properly.
3. Step 3: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one piece of caramel candy on top of the filling. Carefully bring the dough edges up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Gently roll each sealed biscuit into a ball shape.
4. Step 4: Place each filled dough ball seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to encourage golden browning. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for extra flavor.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer carefully to a serving platter. Serve warm, optionally with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.

Tips & Variations

• Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tang.
• Replace caramel candies with caramel bits or drizzle caramel sauce on top after baking.
• For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped nuts inside before sealing the dough.
• Cinnamon sugar on top adds a lovely aroma and subtle sweetness—don’t skip it if you like cinnamon!

Storage

Store any leftover caramel apple pie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pie crust instead of biscuit dough?

Yes, fresh pie crust can be used, but biscuit dough adds a soft, pillowy texture that complements the filling nicely. Pie crust will create a flakier, crisper result.

How do I prevent the caramel from leaking out during baking?

Make sure to pinch the dough edges tightly to seal the filling completely and place the bombs seam side down in the baking dish. Flattening the dough evenly also helps prevent leaks.

Apple Filling

• 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Dough and Assembly

• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 pieces caramel candy
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Cook apple filling: Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add peeled and finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook until apples are tender and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Prepare biscuit dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten them into an even, thin round using fingers, a rolling pin, or tortilla press, taking care not to tear the dough.
4. Assemble pie bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling onto the center of each biscuit round. Place one piece of caramel candy on top of the filling. Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to fully encase the filling, forming a tight seal. Gently roll each into a ball shape.
5. Prepare for baking: Arrange each filled dough ball seam side down in the greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to promote browning. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for extra flavor and aroma.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve: Remove from oven and transfer carefully to a serving platter. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
