For Coating (Optional):

Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. Melt the Butter – In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Cook the Apples – Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the apples soften.
  3. Thicken (If Needed) – Stir in cornstarch if you want a thicker filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add Vanilla – Stir in vanilla extract, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool.

Assemble the Apple Pie Bombs

  1. Preheat Oven – If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten the Dough – Take each piece of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly.
  3. Add the Filling – Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture into the center of each piece of dough.
  4. Seal the Bombs – Fold the edges of the dough up and pinch them together to fully enclose the filling, forming a ball.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash – Lightly brush each bomb with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake or Fry

Baking:

  1. Place the bombs on the lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Frying:

  1. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan.
  2. Fry the bombs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
  3. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Coat and Serve

  1. Cinnamon Sugar Coating (Optional) – Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, then roll each warm bomb in the mixture.
  2. Drizzle with Caramel – If desired, drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra treat.
