Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the apple filling cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough) onto a clean surface. If using crescent rolls, pinch the perforated seams together to form rectangles or squares. If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit slightly.
- Spoon a small amount of the apple filling onto the center of each dough piece—about 1-2 tablespoons, depending on the size of your dough pieces.
Step 3: Form the Apple Pie Bombs
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the apple filling, sealing the edges to form a little pouch or “bomb.”
- Pinch the seams together tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Apple Pie Bombs
- Place the sealed apple pie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the apple pie bombs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, drizzle with a little caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, bite-sized treats!
