# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of salt
06 - 12 soft caramel candies, unwrapped

07 - 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits or 12 small)

→ Coating

08 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
03 - Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
04 - Place 1 tablespoon apple filling and 1 caramel candy in center of each dough circle. Gather edges around filling, pinching tightly to seal into a ball. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
05 - Brush each pie bomb generously with melted butter.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle generously over buttered pie bombs.
07 - Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
08 - Let cool slightly before serving, as caramel filling will be hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They deliver all the comfort of apple pie in half the time with way less fuss
  • The surprise molten caramel center makes every bite feel like a special treat
02 -
  • Sealing the dough tightly is crucial or you will end up with caramel oozing out and burning onto your pan
  • Let the apple filling cool slightly before wrapping so the dough does not become soft and difficult to work with
03 -
  • Place the seam side down on the baking sheet so any potential sealing issues stay on the bottom
  • Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots for even browning
