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 the oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 into thin, even rounds using your fingers, rolling pin, or tortilla press, being careful not to tear the dough. This helps to hold more filling and seal well.
- Fill and Seal the Dough Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one caramel candy piece on top of the filling. Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal entirely. Gently roll each sealed biscuit into a ball shape.
- Arrange and Top the Dough Balls: Place the filled dough balls seam side down in the greased baking dish. Brush with melted butter to promote golden baking. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for extra flavor and aroma.
- Bake and Serve: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove carefully and transfer the caramel apple pie bombs to a serving platter. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuit dough is not torn when flattening to prevent filling from leaking out.
- The caramel candy melts inside, creating a gooey center; use individually wrapped pieces for easy handling.
- Cinnamon sugar topping is optional but adds a lovely extra crunch and aroma.
- Allow the apple filling to cool slightly before filling to avoid dough becoming too soft or tearing.
- Serve warm for the best melty caramel and soft apple filling experience.
