Delight your taste buds with these Apple Pie Bombs, a delicious twist on traditional apple pie. These deep-fried delights are stuffed with sweet apple pie filling and coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, making them the perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands “Big” biscuits, flaky
- 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling or caramel apple pie filling
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside for coating the cooked bombs.
- Prepare the Oil:
- Fill a 2 to 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan a little over halfway with vegetable oil. The oil should be deep enough to completely cover the dough balls. Set aside.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Open the can of biscuits. Divide each biscuit in half by pulling apart the flaky layers at the center.
- Use your fingers or a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit dough just enough to make it malleable but not too thin.
- Fill the Dough:
- Place 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each flattened dough circle.
- Form the Bombs:
- Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside. Once sealed, gently roll the dough into a ball shape, ensuring there are no leaks.
- Fry the Bombs:
- Heat the oil to exactly 325°F. It’s crucial to maintain this temperature to ensure even cooking.
- Carefully lower 2-3 dough balls at a time into the hot oil using a slotted metal spoon. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes, rolling them occasionally with the spoon to fry evenly.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
- As soon as the apple pie bombs are cooked, use the slotted spoon to transfer them directly into the bowl of cinnamon sugar. Toss them gently to coat thoroughly.
- Serve:
- Serve the apple pie bombs immediately while they are still warm and the sugar coating is crisp.
These Apple Pie Bombs are incredibly addictive and perfect for sharing. Whether you’re making them for a festive occasion or as a special treat, they’re sure to disappear quickly! Serve them alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
