Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Assembly
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and Cook the Apple Filling: Preheat your 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.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit and flatten them evenly using your fingers, rolling pin, or tortilla press, careful not to tear the dough. This ensures they hold more filling and enclose it well.
- Fill and Seal the Dough Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one caramel candy piece on top of the filling. Carefully pinch the dough edges tightly around the filling to seal completely, then gently roll each into a ball shape.
- Arrange and Top the Dough Balls: Place each sealed dough ball seam side down into the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a golden crust. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the tops for added flavor and aroma.
- Bake and Serve: Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm alone or with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Be careful not to tear the biscuit dough when flattening to prevent filling from leaking.
- Let the apple filling cool slightly before filling the dough to avoid melting the caramel too soon.
- You can use either Granny Smith or other firm apples suitable for baking for the filling.
- Optionally, serve with caramel sauce or ice cream for enhanced flavor.
- Store uneaten pie bombs in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
