# What You Need:
→ For the Filling
01 - 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
03 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
04 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of salt
06 - 12 soft caramel candies, unwrapped
→ For the Dough
07 - 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits or 12 small)
→ For Coating
08 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
04 - Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooked apple filling and 1 caramel candy in the center of each dough circle.
05 - Gather the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching well to seal and form a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each pie bomb with melted butter.
07 - In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for coating. Sprinkle generously over the pie bombs.
08 - Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
09 - Let cool slightly before serving, as caramel filling will be hot.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- They come together in under 40 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
- The combination of warm spiced apples and melted caramel is absolutely irresistible
02 -
- Seal the dough edges extremely well or caramel will leak and create a sticky mess on your baking sheet
- Let the apple filling cool slightly before wrapping, otherwise it will make the dough soggy and difficult to seal
03 -
- A small splash of vanilla extract added to the apple filling creates a deeper, more complex flavor profile
- Chop your apples uniformly so they cook evenly and no pieces remain undercooked
