Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Dough & Filling
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
Finishing
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round disk on a clean surface using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling in the center of each dough round. Add one piece of caramel candy on top of the apple filling. Carefully fold and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal completely, forming a ball. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leaking during baking.
- Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Place the caramel apple bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each bomb with the melted butter. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top for extra flavor and a crunchy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning from the hot caramel inside.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges tightly to avoid caramel leakage during baking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple filling.
- Cinnamon sugar on top is optional but adds a nice sweet crunch.
- Serve warm for the best experience, as the caramel inside will be gooey and delicious.
