Ingredients
  

Apple pie filling
  • 3 large apples
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 16 soft caramel candies
Biscuit bombs
  • 2 can (8 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon sugar coating
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
Caramel drizzle
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the apple pie filling
  1. Cook the diced apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until thickened and glossy.
  2. Transfer the filling to a bowl and cool completely before assembling.
Assemble and coat the bombs
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of cooled apple filling and 1 soft caramel candy in the center of each circle.
  4. Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch firmly to seal, then roll into a smooth ball.
  5. Brush each ball with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar coating.
Bake and finish
  1. Bake at 375F for 18-20 minutes until deeply golden and set through.
  2. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve warm.

Notes

Cool the apple filling completely so the caramel-stuffed centers don’t leak during baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheat in a 350F oven until warm. Freezing is yes—freeze baked, cooled bombs in a single layer, then thaw and reheat. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat biscuit dough and a sugar-light caramel sauce if desired.
