Description
Apple Pie Bombs are delicious pastry treats filled with a warm apple filling, coated in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
- For the Apple Filling
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- For the Bombs
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the apple filling. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the apples begin to soften.
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir into the apples and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Prepare the dough. Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round about 4 inches wide.
- Fill the bombs. Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each biscuit. Pull the edges up and around the filling, then pinch firmly to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Add the cinnamon butter. Brush each dough ball with melted butter. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over the tops.
- Bake for 14–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple pie bombs and serve.
Notes
- Make sure the apple filling has cooled before stuffing the biscuits. This makes the dough easier to seal and helps prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
