The Full Apple Pie Bombs Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 7.5 ounces biscuits
- 21 ounces apple pie filling
- 10 caramels, cut in half lengthwise
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Caramel sundae topping (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan with vegetable oil, about halfway full. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together and set aside. This will be the delightful coating for your bombs!
- On a lightly floured surface, flatten the biscuit dough to make it easier to work with.
- Place 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle. Make sure not to overfill!
- Add a halved caramel on top of the apple filling for that gooey surprise inside.
- Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside. Then roll the ends under to form a ball shape.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature suitable for frying.
- Carefully fry the dough balls, no more than 2 at a time, until they are golden brown on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pie bombs from the oil and immediately coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place the coated pie bombs on a plate and repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve the Apple Pie Bombs immediately, drizzled with caramel sundae topping if desired. Enjoy every bite!
