How to make Mouthwatering Caramel Apple Pie Bombs
Brace yourselves, culinary thrill-seekers; we’re diving into a sweet escapade that will leave your taste buds dancing a polka! Let’s get those aprons on and preheat the ovens because it’s time to transform simple ingredients into a delicious explosion of flavor!
Ingredients:
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 pieces caramel candy
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Cinnamon sugar (optional, but highly encouraged!)
Directions:
- Start this delicious journey by heating a skillet over medium heat and throwing in the butter. Once it’s melting like a dream, add those finely chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sauté until the apples are tender and cozy—about 5-7 minutes. Let this mixture cool down to room temperature because it’s so hot right now!
- While that aromatic filling cools, let’s get up close and personal with the biscuit dough. Pop open that can (yes, the one that makes a satisfying ‘pop’ sound that should get your heart racing) and separate your biscuit dough into individual pieces.
- Take each piece of dough and flatten it into an inviting little disc in your palm. Spoon some of that luscious apple mixture right in the center and tuck one caramel candy on top, like a jewel in a treasure chest.
- Now, fold the dough over the filling and seal those edges tightly—turns out, you have the magic touch. Roll them into lovely balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush those beauties with melted butter and sprinkle a good dusting of cinnamon sugar over the top—the fairy dust of the baking world!
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and looking like all your pie dreams just came true.
- Get ready to bask in the bliss of your creation, but don’t dive in just yet; let them cool for a moment (Patience is a virtue, my friend!).
