Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, flaky layers)
  • 1 cup apple pie filling, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Crumble Topping

  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Drizzle and Garnish

  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce
  • Optional: chopped nuts
  • Optional: vanilla ice cream
  • Optional: powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Make Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place this crumble topping in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest.
  3. Chop Apple Filling: Finely chop the apple pie filling into small pieces to ensure it fits well inside the biscuit dough and prevents tearing.
  4. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Flatten each biscuit from the can into a roughly 3-inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.
  5. Fill and Seal: Place about one tablespoon of the chopped apple filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch to seal tightly, making sure the seam side is closed well to prevent filling leakage. Then place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush each dough ball with melted butter for a golden crust. If desired, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar and sprinkle it evenly over each dough ball for an extra hint of spice and sweetness.
  7. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 14 to 17 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes to firm up slightly but still keep warm.
  9. Warm Caramel Sauce: While resting, warm the caramel sauce until it is pourable but not hot—this helps with easy drizzling.
  10. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over each apple bomb, sprinkle with chilled crumble topping and optional chopped nuts. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Chop apple filling finely to prevent tearing the biscuit dough when wrapping.
  • Brushing dough with butter before baking helps achieve a golden, flavorful crust.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce after reheating or right before serving to maintain its soft, gooey texture.
  • For best results, use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough and do not overfill to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Optional cinnamon sugar adds a warm spice note but can be omitted for a simpler treat.
