Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs (Printable Version)
Golden apple bombs air fried to crisp perfection, filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and coated in buttery sugar.
# Ingredients Required:
→ Biscuit Dough
01 -
1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
→ Apple Filling
02 -
240 ml apple pie filling, diced
03 -
1 tsp ground cinnamon
→ Sugar Coating
04 -
150 g granulated sugar
05 -
3 tsp apple pie spice
→ Finishing
06 -
120 ml unsalted butter, melted
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and apple pie spice; mix thoroughly and set aside to use as a coating after cooking.
02 -
Remove biscuits from the can and carefully separate each into two layers, creating 16 pieces; press each layer into a 10 cm diameter circle using your fingers to form a flat base for filling.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix diced apple pie filling with ground cinnamon until the spice is evenly incorporated to enhance warmth and flavor.
04 -
Place approximately 15 ml of apple cinnamon filling in the center of each biscuit circle; fold dough edges over the filling and pinch to seal completely, then gently roll each into a ball.
05 -
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray; arrange apple bombs in batches, leaving about 5 cm spacing; spray tops with cooking spray; air fry at 175°C for 8–9 minutes until golden brown, rotating basket halfway for even cooking.
06 -
Remove hot apple bombs from the air fryer, dip each thoroughly in melted butter, then immediately roll in the spiced sugar mixture until evenly coated, creating a sweet aromatic crust.
07 -
Serve the apple bombs warm for optimal texture and gooey filling, or allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
