Ingredients

Scale

Filling and Topping

  • 1 large can (21 ounces) Apple Pie Filling
  • 10 individually wrapped caramels, each cut in half
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • Optional: Caramel topping and whipped cream for serving

Dough

  • 1 can (7.5 ounces) Biscuit dough

For Frying

  • About 2.5 quarts Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugar-Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 to 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside to coat the pies after frying.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour about 2.5 quarts of vegetable oil into a heavy skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches the appropriate frying temperature, ensuring it’s hot enough to cook the dough balls evenly.
  3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten each biscuit slightly to create a base for filling.
  4. Fill the Biscuits: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place two halves of a caramel piece on top of the filling.
  5. Seal the Dough Balls: Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Then roll the sealed dough gently to form a smooth ball, making sure there are no openings for filling to escape.
  6. Fry the Pie Bombs: Using a slotted spoon, gently place up to two of the filled dough balls into the hot oil. Continuously roll the bombs in the hot oil to brown all sides evenly. Fry them until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the fried pie bombs carefully with the slotted spoon. Immediately roll them in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  8. Cool and Serve: Place the coated bombs on a cooling rack to cool slightly. Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with caramel topping and accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  9. Enjoy: These caramel apple pie bombs are best enjoyed warm for a gooey, delicious dessert experience.

Notes

  • Be cautious when frying to avoid oil splatters and maintain consistent oil temperature for even cooking.
  • Use a slotted spoon to handle the pie bombs gently, preventing them from bursting open.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute biscuit dough with a gluten-free alternative.
  • Allow bombs to cool slightly before eating to avoid burns from hot filling.
  • Can be served with vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert.
