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. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit and then flatten using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press until you have an even, thin round. Gentle pressing helps prevent tearing and allows the dough to hold more filling.
- Fill and Seal the Dough Bombs: 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 edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch them tightly to seal completely. Gently roll each filled biscuit into a ball shape to ensure a smooth seal.
- Arrange and Top the Dough Balls: Place each filled dough ball seam side down into the prepared, greased baking dish. Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter to help them develop a golden color. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for extra aroma and sweetness.
- Bake and Serve: Bake the caramel apple pie bombs 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 finish.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent caramel from leaking during baking.
- Allow the apple filling to cool slightly before assembling to avoid dough becoming soggy.
- For a gluten-free variation, substitute the biscuit dough with gluten-free dough options.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best taste and texture.
