# Ingredients:
→ For the apple filling
01 -
2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
02 -
2 tbsp brown sugar
03 -
1 tsp ground cinnamon
04 -
pinch of salt
05 -
1 tbsp unsalted butter
→ For assembly
06 -
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
07 -
8 pieces caramel candy
08 -
2 tbsp butter, melted
09 -
cinnamon sugar (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the 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. Once cooked, set the apple filling aside to let it cool slightly.
02 -
Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten each one using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press until you have an even, thin round. Flattening the biscuits helps them hold more filling and ensures the dough surrounds it nicely.
03 -
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the prepared apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one piece of caramel candy on top of the apple filling. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal it completely. Once sealed, gently roll each filled biscuit into a ball shape.
04 -
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 bake to a golden color. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops of the dough balls before baking.
05 -
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the caramel apple pie bombs to a serving platter. Serve warm. For an indulgent finish, try serving them with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Notes:
01 -
These caramel apple pie bombs are best enjoyed warm when the caramel center is still gooey.
