Description

Delightful apple pie bombs bring classic American dessert magic into bite-sized spheres of pure comfort. Crispy golden pastry shells cradle warm cinnamon-spiced apple filling, promising sweet satisfaction for dessert enthusiasts seeking simple yet irresistible indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 (16.3-ounce / 462 grams) can Grands Big biscuits, flaky
  • 1 (21-ounce / 595 grams) can apple pie filling or caramel apple pie filling

Coating and Seasoning:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cooking Ingredient:

  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Craft a delicate mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, setting it aside for the final coating process.
  2. Select a heavy-bottomed saucepan and fill it approximately halfway with vegetable oil, ensuring sufficient depth to completely submerge the dough spheres during frying.
  3. Delicately separate each biscuit into two halves by gently pulling apart the flaky layers. Use fingertips or a rolling pin to create uniform, slightly flattened circles without compromising the dough’s structural integrity.
  4. Position a dollop of apple pie filling precisely in the center of each dough circle. Meticulously seal the edges, pressing firmly to prevent leakage, then gently transform the sealed package into a smooth, seamless sphere.
  5. Ignite the oil, bringing it to a precise temperature of 325F (163C). Maintain this consistent heat throughout the frying process to guarantee optimal golden-brown transformation.
  6. Deploy a slotted metal spoon to carefully introduce the dough spheres into the simmering oil. Fry in small batches of 2-3, continuously rotating to ensure uniform coloration and prevent scorching. Anticipate approximately 5 minutes per batch for perfect crispy exterior.
  7. Extract the golden-brown orbs using the slotted spoon and immediately transfer them into the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture. Thoroughly coat each piece, ensuring complete sugar coverage while the surface remains piping hot.
  8. Serve these decadent morsels immediately, preferably accompanied by a luxurious scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the sensory experience.

Notes

  • Check oil temperature precisely using a reliable digital thermometer to ensure perfect golden-brown exterior without burning.
  • Create uniform dough balls by using consistent pressure when sealing and rolling to prevent leaks during frying.
  • Drain excess oil on paper towels before coating in cinnamon sugar for lighter, crispier texture.
  • Experiment with different pie fillings like peach, cherry, or blueberry for variety and personalized flavor combinations.
