Delightfully crispy and gooey, these Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs are the perfect handheld dessert. Made with flaky biscuit dough, a sweet apple pie filling, and a cinnamon sugar coating, they’re quick to prepare and bake to golden perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Country biscuits (10 pieces per can) or 1 can of Grands biscuits

Filling

  • 1 cup roughly chopped apple pie filling

Coating

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a small circle about 3-4 inches in diameter, ensuring an even thickness for proper sealing.
  2. Add the Filling: Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the roughly chopped apple pie filling in the center of each flattened biscuit circle, distributing evenly so each bomb is well filled.
  3. Seal the Bombs: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch firmly to seal, forming a ball shape. Make sure there are no gaps or openings to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each sealed dough ball with melted butter to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
  6. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon. Roll or sprinkle the buttered dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are completely coated.
  7. Cook the Apple Pie Bombs: Place the coated bombs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching to allow proper air circulation. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the apple pie bombs from the air fryer carefully and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is sealed completely to avoid filling leakage while cooking.
  • Use fresh or canned apple pie filling for convenience and flavor.
  • You can substitute the Pillsbury biscuits with any flaky biscuit dough.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
