Directions to follow
The steps are quick and easy, so let’s get started:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish generously.
- Take each biscuit and flatten it out with your hands or a rolling pin. Place a few pieces of diced apple in the center of each.
- Carefully fold and seal the edges of each biscuit to form a ball, ensuring the filling stays enclosed.
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Dip each ball into the melted butter, and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
- Arrange the balls in the greased baking dish. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top, and if you’re using nuts, sprinkle them on right after.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bombs are golden and bubbly. Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm!
Best ways to enjoy it
Serve these Caramel Apple Cinnamon Bombs warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. For added flair, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top or dust with powdered sugar before serving. They pair beautifully with a warm cup of cider or coffee for a perfect snack or dessert.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you happen to have any leftovers (though they’re so delicious, that’s unlikely), cool them completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, or bake briefly at a low temperature to retain that warm, gooey appeal.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, ensure your apples are finely diced to maximize flavor in every bite. You can also experiment with different spices, like nutmeg or pumpkin spice, to incorporate additional depth. If you’re short on time, using pre-made caramel sauce helps streamline the process.
Creative twists
Feel free to customize these bombs to suit your taste! Try adding mini chocolate chips for a sweeter variation, or swap the apple for pears for a unique twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider a savory version with cheese and herbs!
