Description
Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a quick and easy fall dessert featuring cinnamon-spiced apples and gooey caramel wrapped in golden biscuit dough. These handheld treats deliver all the flavors of classic apple pie in a fun, snackable form—perfect for cozy nights, potlucks, or weekday cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 medium firm apples (about 9 oz), peeled and diced
- 12 soft caramel candies
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- All-purpose flour, for dusting (optional)
- Pinch sea salt (optional, for salted caramel twist)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Peel and dice apples into small cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces). Toss apples with cinnamon and sugar in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- Open biscuit dough and separate into individual rounds. Flatten each round into a circle about 3 inches wide. Dust with flour if sticky.
- Place a spoonful of cinnamon-sugar apples (about 1 tablespoon) and one caramel candy in the center of each dough circle.
- Gather edges of dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal tightly into a ball.
- Place sealed pie bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with extra sugar if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Start checking at 15 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or alongside vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Seal the dough tightly to prevent caramel leaks. For a salted caramel twist, add a pinch of sea salt inside each bomb. Use firm apples for best texture. Pie bombs freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or microwave. For gluten-free or vegan adaptations, use suitable dough and caramels. Broil for 1 minute at the end for extra crispy tops.
