Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare the apple filling: 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. Set the apple filling aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the biscuit dough: Remove the refrigerated biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten it evenly using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press to create thin rounds that can hold the filling without tearing.
  3. Assemble the pie bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one caramel candy piece on top of the apple filling. Carefully lift the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal completely, then gently roll it into a ball shape with the seam side underneath.
  4. Prepare for baking: Place each filled dough ball seam side down into the greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a golden crust. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops for added flavor and aroma.
  5. Bake and serve: Bake the caramel apple pie bombs in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer carefully to a serving platter. Serve warm, optionally with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Make sure to seal the dough completely around the filling to prevent caramel leakage during baking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of brown sugar or caramel candy.
  • Using Granny Smith apples or other tart varieties works well to balance the sweetness.
  • These can be prepared ahead and baked fresh when ready to serve.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the biscuit dough with a mixture of egg wash instead of butter.
