Yield & Timing

  • Servings: ~8–12 bombs (varies with size)

  • Prep Time: ~15–20 minutes

  • Cook Time: 30–35 minutes

  • Total Time: ~45–55 minutes

 Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Assembly

  • 1 can (about 16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

  • 8 pieces caramel candy (soft caramels)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

  • Cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)



 Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

  3. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and syrupy (about 5 minutes).

  5. Set the apple mixture aside to cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Dough

  1. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits.

  2. On a floured surface, gently stretch and flatten each biscuit into a round (~4–5 inches diameter).

  3. Flattening the dough helps it wrap around the filling nicely.

3. Assemble the Pie Bombs

  1. Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each round.

  2. Top each with a piece of caramel candy.

  3. Bring the dough edges together and pinch tightly to seal completely.

  4. Gently roll each filled dough ball into a smooth ball shape.

4. Bake

  1. Place each sealed ball seam side down in the greased baking dish.

  2. Brush the tops with melted butter.

  3. Optionally sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar on top for extra flavor and crunch.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven 30–35 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

5. Serve

  • Let cool slightly.

  • Serve warm — they are great on their own or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce drizzled on top.



 Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.

  • Add chopped nuts (like pecans) on top for extra texture.

  • Serve warm with coffee, hot cider, or hot chocolate for a cozy treat.

 Storage & Reheating

  • Room Temperature: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

  • Refrigerator: Store up to 3–4 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispness.

  • Freezer (Unbaked): Freeze assembled pie bombs on a baking sheet until firm, then store in freezer bags; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

 Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t overfill each dough piece — about 1 tablespoon filling plus 1 caramel piece works best for sealing.

  • Seal tightly to prevent caramel from leaking while baking.

  • Brush with melted butter for a shiny, golden crust.

  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

 Conclusion

These Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a fast, fun, and delicious way to enjoy apple pie flavors without baking a whole pie. With tender apple filling, gooey caramel centers, and soft golden dough, they make a perfect dessert or fall treat that’s sure to delight family and friends.
