Ideal for fall gatherings, after-school snacks, or a sweet ending to any meal, these bombs are both easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious.
2 cans (10-count each) Pillsbury Country-style biscuits
1 cup apple pie filling, chopped into small pieces
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Prepare the Biscuits: Separate each biscuit into two layers. Flatten each layer into a 4-inch circle using your fingers or a rolling pin
Fill the Dough: Place approximately 1 tablespoon of chopped apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle.
Seal the Bombs: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a ball, pinching the seams tightly to seal.
Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Dip each apple pie bomb into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, roll the buttered bomb in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the prepared apple pie bombs in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Air fry for 8-9 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve: Allow the apple pie bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best taste.
