Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling:
- 1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Dough and Base:
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
Coating and Icing:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, preparing a greased baking sheet for the upcoming pastry creation.
- Create a luscious apple filling by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat, then incorporating diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes until apples transform into a soft, caramelized mixture. Allow filling to cool completely.
- Gently separate each biscuit dough and delicately flatten with fingertips, creating a smooth surface for filling.
- Carefully spoon the cooled apple mixture into the center of each biscuit, ensuring an even distribution.
- Fold the dough edges over the filling, meticulously pinching and sealing to prevent leakage during baking.
- Craft a sweet coating by mixing sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Individually roll each sealed pastry bomb in this aromatic mixture.
- Arrange the coated pastries on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining equal spacing.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and pronounced puffiness.
- While pastries bake, whisk powdered sugar and milk together to create a smooth, glossy icing.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, generously drizzle the icing over the hot apple pie bombs, allowing it to cascade and set slightly.
Notes
- Ensure apples are diced uniformly for consistent cooking and texture throughout the filling.
- Let the apple mixture cool completely to prevent dough from becoming soggy and maintain crisp edges.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or use almond flour-based pastry.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to enhance the apple filling’s depth of flavor.
