Simple Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are quick, handheld treats of gooey apple and caramel filling wrapped in biscuit dough — all baked until golden, then brushed with butter and coated in cinnamon sugar for a warm, cozy dessert that tastes like mini apple pies.

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (regular or flaky style)
  • 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped into small pieces
  • 8–10 soft caramel candies or 2–3 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating)
  • Optional: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), powdered sugar glaze or extra caramel drizzle for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a circle. Spoon a small amount of chopped apple pie filling into the center, then add a caramel candy (or a spoonful of thick caramel sauce).
  3. Pinch the edges of the biscuit dough together tightly to seal, shaping into a ball. Make sure the seam is well sealed so filling doesn’t leak.
  4. Place each sealed ball seam‑side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 13–16 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Immediately after baking, brush each warm pie bomb with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon‑sugar mixture until coated.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving — filling will be hot and gooey. Optionally, drizzle with extra caramel or a powdered sugar glaze for extra treat‑level indulgence.

Notes

  • You can use homemade apple pie filling instead of canned — just make sure the apples are soft and filling not too watery.
  • Adding chopped nuts to the filling gives a nice crunch and flavor contrast.
  • For a fruit twist, use cherry or blueberry pie filling instead of apple.
  • These bake well in an air fryer too — 350 °F (175 °C) for about 10–12 minutes (watch closely so they don’t over‑brown).
  • Leftovers store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days, or in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to bring back crispness outside and gooey filling inside; avoid microwaving if you want to keep the crust crisp.
