Easy Apple Pie Bombs (Print version)
Warm biscuit dough wrapped around cinnamon apple filling, air fried until golden, then coated in buttery cinnamon sugar.
# Ingredients:
For the apple bombs
01 -
1 can (8-count) refrigerated jumbo biscuits, not flaky layers
02 -
1 cup (240 g) apple pie filling, apples chopped small
03 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 -
Nonstick cooking spray
For the cinnamon sugar coating
05 -
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
06 -
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
07 -
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir the granulated sugar and apple pie spice together in a shallow bowl. Set the melted butter in a second shallow bowl.
02 -
Separate each jumbo biscuit into 2 thinner layers to make 16 pieces. Press each piece into a 4-inch round, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.
03 -
Stir the chopped apple pie filling with the cinnamon. Use small apple pieces so the dough closes easily.
04 -
Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each dough round. Pull the edges up, pinch tightly to seal, and roll gently into a ball.
05 -
Lightly spray the air fryer basket. Arrange the bombs seam side down with space between them. Air fry at 350 F for 8-9 minutes, working in batches, until puffed and golden.
06 -
Dip each hot apple pie bomb in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Let rest for 3 minutes before serving because the filling will be hot.
