Air Fryer Apple Bombs (Print Version)
Quick, crispy apple-filled dough bites air-fried and coated with cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
20 refrigerated biscuits (Pillsbury country style, or 16 layers if using Grand biscuits)
→ Filling
02 -
Approximately 20 tablespoons apple pie filling, chopped into smaller pieces
→ Coating
03 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 -
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
05 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Remove biscuits from cans and flatten each individually to a 4-inch diameter circle using a rolling pin. For Grand biscuits, separate into layers before flattening.
02 -
Place 1 tablespoon of chopped apple pie filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold dough edges over filling and pinch firmly to seal, shaping each into a ball.
03 -
Place assembled bombs in the air fryer basket, spacing them about 1 inch apart to prevent sticking. Cook in batches if necessary.
04 -
Set air fryer to 380°F and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and crisp.
05 -
While bombs cook, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl to prepare the coating.
06 -
Transfer cooked bombs to a cooling rack. While still warm, dip each into melted butter, then roll thoroughly in cinnamon sugar mixture. Return to rack to set.
07 -
Serve warm as is or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for enhanced indulgence.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, flatten biscuits evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Using chilled apple pie filling makes handling easier.
