Caramel Apple Pie Bombs – Easy Dessert with a Surprise Center


Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

For the Bombs:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit or crescent roll dough (8-count)
  • 8 soft caramel candies (like Werther’s or Kraft)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

For Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Make the apple filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are soft and mixture is syrupy. Let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prep the dough: Flatten each biscuit or dough triangle into a circle, about 3 inches across.
  4. Assemble bombs: Spoon a bit of apple filling into the center of each dough round. Top with one soft caramel.
  5. Seal and shape: Fold dough up and around filling, pinching edges to seal tightly. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
  6. Egg wash: Beat egg and brush over each bomb for a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Finish: Brush warm bombs with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • Use pie dough or puff pastry for a flakier texture.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for crunch.
  • Swap caramels for chocolate squares or Nutella.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze.
  • Serve with ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
