Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans Pillsbury Country Biscuits (10 pieces per can) or 1 can of Grands Biscuits
Filling
- 1 cup roughly chopped apple pie filling
Coating
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the apple pie bombs evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Prepare Dough Circles: Roll each biscuit dough into a 4-inch circle to create a flat base that’s easy to fill and fold around the apple pie filling.
- Fill and Shape Bombs: Place 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges to seal securely, then roll into a smooth ball shape to enclose the filling completely.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the shaped bombs into the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between each to allow hot air circulation for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Bombs: Cook the bombs in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through with a crisp exterior.
- Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately dip each hot bomb into the melted butter, then roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon to add a sweet, flavorful coating.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly around the filling to prevent leaking during cooking.
- If your apple pie filling is very chunky, chop it roughly so it fits well inside the dough.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check for golden brown color as a sign of doneness.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and gooey texture.
- You can substitute apple pie filling with other fruit fillings like cherry or peach for variety.
