Description

Delicious apple cinnamon bombs made with flaky dough and warm apple filling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup peeled and diced fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 soft caramel candies or 1/3 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cups oil for frying (if not baking)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the apples into small chunks. Sauté in a skillet with a bit of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside to cool.
  2. Flatten each biscuit or crescent dough into a disk. Place a spoonful of apple filling, a small piece of cream cheese, and a caramel candy or drizzle of sauce in the center.
  3. Seal the dough by bringing the edges together and pinching closed to form a ball. Ensure no gaps are left.
  4. Choose cooking method:
  5. – To bake: Brush bombs with melted butter, place on a lined baking sheet, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes.
  6. – To fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry bombs 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  7. While still warm, brush with more melted butter and roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  8. Arrange on a serving plate and generously drizzle with caramel sauce before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • These can be made either by frying or baking, based on your preference.
  • For a sweeter coating, mix extra sugar with cinnamon before rolling the bombs.
