Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs
Description
Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs combine biscuit dough with a sweet apple filling seasoned with cinnamon and apple pie spice. The dough is rolled into thin circles, filled generously with pieces of apple pie filling mixed with cinnamon, then sealed into small, round pockets. Cooking these in an air fryer at 350°F for 6-8 minutes results in a golden-brown crust that is crisp on the outside with a soft, warm filling inside. The apple pie spice and sugar mixture surrounding the dough adds a fragrant and flavorful sugary coating that enhances the dessert's appeal. This method uses store-bought biscuit dough and filling for convenience while preserving the texture and flavors of traditional apple pie in a shareable, quick-cooking form.
The step of rolling the biscuit dough thin helps ensure a delicate, tender crust when air fried. The cinnamon in the filling complements the sweetness of the apples, creating warmth that mimics classic apple pie spice blends. The bite-sized bombs can be arranged in the air fryer basket without overcrowding to ensure even cooking and browning. Serving these warm offers a cozy, familiar apple dessert suitable for snacks or after-dinner treats. The recipe also suggests a homemade apple pie spice mix as a substitute for store-bought for those who prefer making blends from scratch.
Using parchment paper during rolling prevents sticking, simplifying preparation. The air fryer method shortens cooking time significantly compared to baking traditional pies. Just ensure the bombs are spaced properly to allow hot air circulation. The recipe ends before the final instruction, but typically once golden, they can be removed and served immediately. These bombs provide a convenient way to enjoy the flavors of apple pie with minimal fuss and clean-up.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
- 8 ounces Biscuits I used an 8 oz can, Pillsbury Grand brand
- 1 cup apple pie filling cut apples into small bite size pieces
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup butter melted (one stick, unsalted
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and apple pie spice. Set aside.
- Open the can of the biscuits and pull each biscuit apart in the middle, dividing them equally, so you now have 16 circles.
- Roll each circle into a thin round shape, about 3-4 inches in size.**
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple pie filling pieces with the cinnamon. Stir together to combine well, so the apple bites are coated.
- Place a spoonful of the filling into the center of each circle of dough, leaving about ¼ inch around the edges.
- Grab the edges and pull up, then pinch them together, making small round balls.
- Use parchment paper with holes, or lightly brush the basket of your air fryer with olive oil. Depending on the size of your basket, place bombs in the basket and leave about ½ inch in between each piece. Don’t overcrowd or overlap in the basket. Work in batches if necessary.
- Cook them in the air fryer at 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Once they are all cooked, dip each piece into the melted butter, then dip into the combined sugar and spice mixture. Repeat until all of the pieces are coated.
Notes
- If apple pie spice is unavailable, combine 1½ tsp cinnamon, ¾ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp allspice, ¼ tsp ground cloves, and ¼ tsp ginger to make your own.
- Use parchment paper while rolling the biscuits to prevent sticking; it peels away easily.
