Description

Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are the epitome of comfort desserts, combining familiar flavors with a creative twist. These delightful treats are not just easy to prepare but are perfect for any occasion, making them a staple in your dessert repertoire.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 can (16.3 ounce) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 pieces caramel candy
  • 2 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture while stirring occasionally until the apples soften and the sugars caramelize slightly, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. Set your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This preparation ensures your pie bombs bake evenly and do not stick.

3. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Lightly flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin, creating a larger circle that can be used to wrap the filling.

4. Place a spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Then, add one piece of caramel candy on top of the apple filling.

5. Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges securely to create a sealed ball. Make sure there are no gaps where the filling could leak out during baking.

6. Arrange the pie bombs on your prepared baking sheet. Brush each ball with melted butter for a golden crust, and if desired, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for an added touch of sweetness and texture.

7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.

8. Once baked, remove the pie bombs from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This cooling period helps avoid burns from the hot caramel filling. Enjoy them warm to savor their gooey texture.

Notes

Choosing the Right Apples: Opt for tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that maintain their texture and flavor during cooking.

Cooling the Filling: Allowing the filling to cool prevents the dough from becoming soggy and ensures the caramel doesn’t leak during baking.

Sealing the Dough: Make sure to pinch the edges tightly to avoid any filling leaks. You can also twist the dough slightly to ensure a secure seal.

Customizing Flavors: Feel free to add other spices such as nutmeg, or even a splash of vanilla extract to the apple filling for enhanced flavor.
