How to Make Caramel Apple Pie Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a small bowl, mix diced apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten each biscuit dough round slightly with your hands.
- Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture onto the center of each dough round.
- Place half a caramel candy on top of the apples.
- Pinch the edges together tightly to seal and form a ball.
Step 3: Coat & Bake
- Brush each bomb with melted butter and roll in brown sugar.
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
