Cook Techniques
Preparation of Biscuits
To achieve a perfect base for your apple pie bombs, gently flatten each biscuit into a disc. This step ensures the dough can easily encapsulate the filling.
Filling and Sealing
Spoon the apple pie filling onto the biscuit and seal it tightly by pinching the edges. This prevents any filling from leaking during the cooking process.
Creating the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
Mix granulated sugar with cinnamon to create a flavorful coating. Rolling the sealed biscuits in this mixture adds a delicious sweet crust.
Using the Air Fryer
Arrange the apple pie bombs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cooking at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes ensures they turn golden brown and crispy.
Brushing with Butter
After air frying, brush each bomb with melted butter to enhance flavor and moisture. This step also helps the sugar and cinnamon coating adhere.
Cooling Before Serving
Allow the apple pie bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoying them warm ensures the gooey apple filling is at its best.
