Ingredients

For the Apple Filling:

• 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon water (if using cornstarch)

For the Dough:

• 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or crescent roll dough)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons melted butter

For Frying (Optional):

• Vegetable oil for deep frying (if frying instead of baking)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well.
3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the apples are soft and caramelized.
4. If you prefer a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, then stir it into the apples. Cook for another minute until thickened.
5. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. If frying, heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
2. Flatten each biscuit dough round slightly with your fingers.
3. Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each dough round.
4. Carefully pinch the edges together to seal and form a ball. Make sure they are tightly sealed so the filling doesn’t leak out.

Step 3: Coat and Cook

1. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
2. Brush each dough ball with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Baking Method:

• Place the apple bombs on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Frying Method:

• Carefully drop the apple bombs into the hot oil, a few at a time.
• Fry for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Let the Apple Pie Bombs cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly irresistible treat!

These Apple Pie Bombs are easy to make and packed with flavor, making them a great alternative to traditional apple pie. Try them out and watch them disappear within minutes!
