Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Dough and Filling

1 can Refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent dough Biscuits give a puffier bite.
2 medium Apples, peeled and diced small (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith) Dice the apples small for best texture.
2 tbsp Butter For cooking the apple filling.
2 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt Enhances the flavors.
12 pieces Caramel candies About 1 per bomb or use thick caramel sauce.
1 tbsp Sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon for rolling For coating before baking.
optional Powdered sugar glaze or extra caramel drizzle For serving.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until apples are soft and glossy. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
Separate the biscuit dough and press each piece into a flat circle, about 4 inches wide, letting it sit if it bounces back.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each dough circle, then add 1 caramel candy on top.
Seal the dough by pulling the edges up around the filling and pinching tightly, then roll them gently to form smooth balls. Place them seam side down on the baking sheet.

Baking

Bake for 12 to 16 minutes until golden brown.
Let them cool for 3 minutes, then roll in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Drizzle with caramel after they cool slightly.

Notes

Make sure to cool the apple filling to avoid a leaky bomb. Use soft caramel candies for best results. Don't overfill the dough to prevent bursting.
