Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup apple pie filling (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Filling
Chop apple pie filling into small chunks so it fits easily into the dough.
Step 2: Fill the Biscuits
Flatten each biscuit round slightly. Add 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling to the center. Fold edges up and pinch to seal into a ball.
Step 3: Air Fry
Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Place sealed bombs seam-side down. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Brush warm apple pie bombs with melted butter, then roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm for the best gooey texture. Optional: drizzle with caramel sauce or add a scoop of ice cream!
