# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
03 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
04 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of salt

# Cooking Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
03 - Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
04 - Place 1 tablespoon apple filling and 1 caramel candy in center of each dough circle. Gather edges around filling, pinching well to seal into a ball. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush each pie bomb with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle generously over pie bombs.
06 - Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Cool slightly before serving as caramel filling will be hot.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They come together in under 40 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen
- The combination of tender spiced apples and melted caramel inside golden dough is pure comfort food magic
02 -
- Pinching the dough seams really tightly is crucial because any gaps will let that precious caramel escape during baking
- Letting the apple filling cool slightly before assembling prevents the dough from getting soggy and difficult to seal
03 -
- Work quickly with the dough once it is out of the can because it becomes harder to handle as it warms up
- Use a light touch when sealing the dough so you do not tear it but make sure it is completely closed
