- Flatten the Dough – Take each piece of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly.
- Add the Filling – Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture into the center of each piece of dough.
- Seal the Bombs – Fold the edges of the dough up and pinch them together to fully enclose the filling, forming a ball.
- Brush with Egg Wash – Lightly brush each bomb with beaten egg for a golden finish.
