Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) diced apples (peeled and cored)
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
Filling and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Coating Ingredients:
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Craft a luscious apple filling by gently sautéing diced apples in butter, blending with warm spices and sweetness. Create a velvety texture by incorporating a cornstarch slurry, allowing the mixture to thicken and develop deep, rich flavors. Cool the filling completely to prevent dough soginess.
- Preheat the oven and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Delicately transform each biscuit dough piece into a thin, malleable disc, ensuring ample surface area for wrapping the fragrant apple mixture.
- Carefully position a generous dollop of cooled apple filling at the center of each dough circle. Gently gather and pinch the edges, creating a secure seal that encapsulates the spiced fruit completely. Tenderly shape each bundle into a smooth, uniform sphere.
- Arrange the formed bombs on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them seam-side down to maintain their structural integrity. Bake until the exterior achieves a golden, crisp transformation, signaling perfect doneness.
- Prepare a luxurious coating by combining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the freshly baked bombs with melted butter, then lovingly roll each one in the aromatic sugar mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Serve these decadent treats while still warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of rich caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Prevent filling leakage by ensuring dough edges are pinched tightly and sealed completely when forming the bombs.
- Customize the recipe by experimenting with different apple varieties like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness, which can enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Modify for dietary restrictions by using gluten-free biscuit dough and replacing butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative that maintains the delicious texture and taste.
- Cool apple filling thoroughly before stuffing to prevent dough from becoming soggy and ensure clean, crisp edges during baking, resulting in perfectly formed apple bombs.
