Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 4 medium Granny Smith Apples Provides tartness and texture; substitute with Honeycrisp for added sweetness or a mix for balance.
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flavor; ensure it’s unsalted for better control over salt levels.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling; you can also use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Provides warmth and spice; consider using an apple pie spice mix for added complexity.
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg Enhances flavor profile; can be omitted or replaced with allspice if unavailable.
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour Thickens the filling to prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice Adds acidity to balance sweetness and prevent browning.
For the Bombs
  • 2 cans Refrigerated Biscuit Dough Forms the outer shell; choose flaky varieties for the best results.
  • 8 pieces Caramel Candy or Sauce Provides a gooey, sweet center; store-bought caramel can save you time.
  • Cinnamon Sugar For coating, enhancing flavor and texture.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Apple Filling: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced Granny Smith apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are softened. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits and flatten each into 4-inch rounds.
  3. Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each biscuit round. Top with a piece of caramel candy, fold over and pinch edges to seal. Optional: Roll in cinnamon sugar.
  4. Bake: Line a baking sheet with parchment and place bombs on it. Bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
  5. Serve: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar. Best enjoyed warm.
