Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Assembly
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the apple filling: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Remove the biscuit dough from the can and separate each biscuit. Slightly stretch each biscuit, then flatten them evenly into thin rounds using your fingers, a rolling pin, or a tortilla press to create more space for filling.
- Fill and seal the bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with one piece of caramel candy. Carefully gather the dough edges up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball shape.
- Arrange and brush: Place the filled dough balls seam side down in the greased baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden crust, and optionally sprinkle cinnamon sugar over them for added aroma and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the dough balls have turned golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, transfer carefully to a serving platter, and serve warm. For an indulgent touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture in the filling.
- Make sure to seal dough edges tightly to prevent caramel from leaking during baking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
- Serve immediately for the best gooey texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven.
- Cinnamon sugar topping is optional but highly recommended for extra sweetness and crunch.
