Apple Pie Bombs
Introduction
Apple Pie Bombs are irresistible, bite-sized treats that pack all the warmth and comfort of classic apple pie into a convenient, hand-held form. With crisp exteriors and gooey apple cinnamon centers, they’re the ultimate fusion of sweet indulgence and simple preparation.
Perfect for parties, holidays, or a cozy night in, these delightful morsels guarantee a crowd-pleasing dessert with minimal fuss—no slicing, no fuss, just pure apple pie goodness in every bite.
Why Apple Pie Bombs Are a Sweet Sensation
What makes Apple Pie Bombs so unique is the perfect harmony of a buttery, flaky crust hugging a luscious apple filling. A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top caramelizes beautifully, delivering that unmistakable apple pie flavor in just a few bites. Serve these warm from the oven (or air fryer!) for a dessert that’s comforting, portable, and sure to vanish quickly from the platter.
Prepping the Filling and Dough
Start with fresh apples: peel, core, and chop them into small pieces for quick, even cooking and maximum flavor. A dedicated Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes speedy, uniform chopping a breeze. Sauté the apples with cinnamon and sugar until softened. Ready-made biscuit or crescent dough streamlines the assembly, giving you more time to savor and less time to roll and knead.
Easy Assembly and Baking
To form each Apple Pie Bomb, flatten a piece of dough, spoon a small amount of apple filling in the center, and seal it tightly. Place each “bomb” on a lined baking sheet or prepare them in a dependable air fryer such as the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey for a crispy, golden crust without the need for extra oil. For oven bakes, line your sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet to ensure easy release and less mess.
Before baking, brush each bomb with melted butter and a dusting of cinnamon sugar for that signature pie finish.
Serving and Enjoying Apple Pie Bombs
Let the Apple Pie Bombs cool only slightly—these are best enjoyed warm. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence. Want an easy way to blend fresh apple for a dipping sauce? Use the reliable Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black for smooth results every time.
They’re perfect for lunchboxes, potlucks, or as grab-and-go snacks for family and guests, bringing big apple pie flavor to any occasion.
