Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs (Print version)
Golden biscuit dough wrapped around warm apple pie filling, brushed with butter, and rolled in cinnamon sugar.
# Ingredients:
For the apple bombs
01 -
1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough, 8 biscuits
02 -
3/4 cup (190 g) apple pie filling, chopped into small pieces
03 -
Nonstick cooking spray
For the cinnamon sugar coating
04 -
3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
05 -
1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
Pinch of fine salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt together in a shallow bowl. Set the melted butter in a second small bowl.
02 -
Separate the biscuits and press each one into a 4-inch round. Keep the centers slightly thicker than the edges so the filling stays tucked inside.
03 -
Place about 1 tablespoon chopped apple pie filling in the center of each biscuit. Pull the dough around the filling, pinch the seams tightly, and roll gently into a ball with the seam underneath.
04 -
Heat the air fryer to 350°F for 2-3 minutes if your model recommends preheating. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
05 -
Arrange 4 bombs in the basket with space between them. Cook for 7-9 minutes, turning gently halfway through, until puffed, golden, and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining bombs.
06 -
Brush the warm bombs with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving because the apple filling will be hot.
# Good to know:
01 -
Serve warm for the best soft-crisp texture.
02 -
Chop large apple slices before filling so the dough seals neatly.
03 -
Air fryer times vary by model, so check the first batch early.
