Apple Pie Bombs
Print Recipe

Apple Pie Bombs are a fun, bite-sized twist on classic apple pie. Each little pastry is filled with warm, cinnamon-spiced apples, wrapped in soft dough, and baked until golden and irresistible. With a gooey apple center and a buttery, cinnamon-sugar coating, these treats are perfect for dessert, parties, or a cozy snack. Best of all, they’re easy to make using simple ingredients and can be customized with caramel, cream cheese, or even nuts.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons water

For the Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add it to the apples and cook for 1–2 more minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. Preheat the oven
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Prepare the dough
    Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece to about ¼-inch thickness using your hands or a rolling pin.

  4. Assemble the apple pie bombs
    Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the edges up and pinch tightly to seal, forming a smooth ball.

  5. Coat with cinnamon sugar
    Dip each dough ball into melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

  6. Bake
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

  7. Serve
    Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Best apples: Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp so they hold their shape and balance the sweetness.

  • Seal well: Pinch the dough tightly to prevent filling from leaking while baking.

  • Extra indulgence: Add a small caramel cube or a teaspoon of cream cheese with the apple filling.

  • Serving idea: Drizzle with caramel sauce or dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
