Description
Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of apple pie and caramel, all wrapped in a crunchy, fried dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 can (7.5 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
- 10 caramel candies, cut in half lengthwise
- Vegetable oil, as needed for deep frying
- Caramel sundae topping, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan (2 to 3 quarts) just over halfway with vegetable oil, ensuring there is enough depth to submerge dough balls. Set aside.
- In a small heat-safe bowl, stir together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Reserve.
- Open the biscuit canister. Flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a round disc using fingers or a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.
- Place 1 tablespoon apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle, then set half a caramel candy on top of the filling.
- Gather the edges of each dough circle and pinch tightly to seal; gently roll ends under to form a smooth ball.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until a small piece of dough sizzles and bubbles when placed in the oil.
- Working in batches of no more than 2 at a time, carefully lower the filled dough balls into the hot oil using a slotted metal spoon. Roll them gently to ensure even coloring and prevent sticking. Fry until all sides are golden brown, monitoring oil temperature closely.
- Use the slotted spoon to transfer fried dough balls immediately into the cinnamon sugar mixture, turning to coat completely. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining dough.
- Serve warm. Drizzle with caramel sundae topping just before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying to achieve a crispy outer layer.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain proper cooking temperature.
- These can be served as a fun dessert for gatherings or family dinners.
