Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (or plant-based alternative)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
In a small saucepan, combine diced apples, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. - Thicken the Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a smooth slurry. Pour into the apple mixture. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool. - Prepare the Dough:
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your fingers or a rolling pin. - Fill and Seal:
Place 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each dough circle. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal completely. Place the sealed side down. - Bake the Bombs:
Arrange the filled bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. - Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Brush each bomb with melted butter immediately after baking, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Notes
For a nutty variation, add 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling.
To enhance the flavor, a pinch of ground nutmeg can be added along with the cinnamon.
These bombs are best served warm, but they reheat well.
Avoid overfilling the dough to prevent leaks during baking.
