Ingredients
Scale
Apple filling
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Small pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
To assemble
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz, standard size)
- 8 soft caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Cook the apples
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Warm 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, stirring every so often, until the apples soften and everything becomes syrupy.
- Take the pan off the heat and allow the filling to cool for a few minutes.
- Prep the biscuit dough
- Pop open the can of biscuit dough and separate the pieces.
- Using your hands (or a rolling pin), gently stretch and flatten each biscuit into a thin circle.
- The goal is to make them large enough to wrap around the filling without tearing.
- Fill and seal
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Place a single caramel candy on top of the apples.
- Pull the dough up around the filling and pinch it firmly so the caramel stays inside.
- Roll the sealed dough lightly between your palms until it forms a smooth ball.
- Brush and bake
- Arrange the filled dough balls seam side down in the greased baking dish.
- Brush melted butter over the tops.
- If you’d like, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over each one to add sweetness and crunch.
- Bake
- Slide the baking dish into the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the dough becomes golden brown.
- Carefully remove the caramel apple pie bombs from the dish and let them cool just long enough to handle — they’re best enjoyed warm.
Notes
Top with caramel drizzle or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
