Why You’ll Love This Caramel Apple Pie Bombs Recipe

This recipe is the definition of comfort food made easy. Each bite is a mix of soft, flaky biscuit dough paired with the sweet and spiced caramel-apple center. What makes it even more appealing? You only need a few ingredients and less than 30 minutes. That means big flavor with little effort, and no need to make an entire pie to enjoy the same beloved taste.

What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

Refrigerated biscuit dough is your best friend here. It’s convenient, reliable, and yields that soft, tender texture we all love. Look for the classic-style buttermilk biscuits—they’re sturdy enough to hold the filling without getting soggy. If you want a more buttery or flaky option, go for the “layers” variety. Avoid jumbo biscuits; the smaller ones are easier to work with and create the perfect 2-3 bite bombs.

Ingredients for the Caramel Apple Pie Bombs

These pie bombs come together with just a handful of kitchen staples. The ingredients are simple, but each one plays an important role in building the ultimate fall treat.

• Refrigerated biscuit dough: The doughy base that wraps around your apple filling. It bakes up beautifully golden and soft.
• Apple pie filling: Choose a chunky style for more texture. The sweet apple pieces bring that warm, nostalgic flavor.
• Soft caramels: These melt into gooey pockets of goodness inside each bomb. Werther’s or Kraft work great.
• Cinnamon: Essential for that cozy spice we associate with apple desserts.
• Sugar: Used in combination with cinnamon to coat each baked bomb in sweet, crunchy bliss.
• Butter: Melted and brushed over the bombs so the cinnamon-sugar sticks and gives a rich, golden finish.

How To Make the Caramel Apple Pie Bombs

Step 1: Prep the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each piece slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin to create a round disc.

Step 2: Add the Filling

Spoon about a teaspoon of apple pie filling onto the center of each biscuit. Place a soft caramel candy on top of the apples.

Step 3: Seal and Shape

Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching to completely seal. Gently shape into a ball. Place each bomb seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

While still warm, brush each bomb with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar, then roll or sprinkle the bombs until coated.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Let them cool just enough to handle, then enjoy warm when the caramel is still melty and the apples are tender.

Serving and Storing Your Caramel Apple Pie Bombs

These pie bombs are best served warm right out of the oven, when the caramel is gooey and the edges are crisp. They make a delightful addition to breakfast, brunch, dessert platters, or even as a cozy snack on a chilly evening. One batch typically makes 8-10 bombs, feeding 4 to 6 people depending on portion size.

To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to bring back the melty caramel center. You can also freeze them and reheat in the oven for a quick treat later on.
