Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits, not flaky layers
- 1 cup (243 g) apple pie filling, with apples cut into small pieces
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Create a fragrant spice-sugar blend by thoroughly whisking sugar with aromatic apple pie spice, then set the mixture aside for coating.
- Carefully separate refrigerated biscuit dough into delicate, thin layers, gently stretching each piece into a uniform circular shape.
- Enhance apple pie filling with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, stirring until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Dollop a precise portion of spiced apple filling directly into the center of each biscuit circle.
- Carefully gather the edges of the dough, pinching and sealing thoroughly to form compact, spherical parcels.
- Liberally coat the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent potential sticking.
- Arrange the dough bombs strategically within the air fryer basket, ensuring adequate spacing for even cooking.
- Lightly mist the top of each bomb with cooking spray to promote golden, crispy exteriors.
- Program the air fryer to 350°F and cook for approximately 8-9 minutes until the pastries transform into a rich, amber-brown color.
- Immediately after cooking, immerse each warm bomb into melted butter, then roll generously in the prepared spice-sugar mixture for a decadent finish.
