Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Small saucepan
- Mixing bowl

- Rolling pin (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 can 16 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
- 1 cup apple pie filling diced into small pieces
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Dice the apple pie filling into small pieces if needed, so it fits nicely inside the biscuit dough.
- Step 3: Flatten the Biscuit Dough
- Separate the biscuit dough and, using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten each biscuit into a round disk about 1/4-inch thick.
- Step 4: Fill and Seal the Bombs
- Place about a tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each dough round.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together to seal, forming a ball shape.
- Place the sealed balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5: Bake the Apple Pie Bombs
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- While the bombs are baking, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.
- As soon as the apple pie bombs come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Step 7: Add Optional Glaze (Optional)
- If you’d like to add glaze, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the warm apple pie bombs before serving.
- Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the apple pie bombs warm for the best taste, or at room temperature.

Notes
- Make It Your Own: Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a few caramel bits inside the filling for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds for a fresh-out-of-the-oven feel.
- Use Fresh Apples: If you prefer, substitute apple pie filling with fresh apples sautéed with a little butter, sugar, and cinnamon until soft.
- Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the bombs and refrigerate them for up to a day before baking.
