Ingredients

Scale
  • Apple Filling
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Dough Assembly
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 soft caramel candies or 8 teaspoons thick caramel sauce
  • Brushing and Coating
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Caramel Glaze
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until just starting to soften.
  2. Incorporate brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir continuously for 4–5 minutes until apples are soft.
  3. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and appears glossy. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Allow mixture to cool slightly before assembling.
  4. If using biscuit dough, separate and flatten each piece into a 10 cm circle. For puff pastry, cut into 10 cm squares.
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of cooled apple filling in the center of each dough piece and top with a caramel candy or 1 teaspoon thick caramel sauce.
  6. Fold dough over filling and pinch seams to seal securely. Roll each sealed piece gently between palms to create a smooth ball. Arrange seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. For oven: preheat oven to 190°C. Brush each dough ball with melted butter. Bake for 14–18 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Cool for 5–10 minutes.
  8. For air fryer: preheat to 175°C. Line basket with parchment or use non-stick spray. Air fry bombs in batches for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway, until evenly golden.
  9. Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each warm bomb with melted butter, then roll gently in cinnamon sugar to fully coat.
  10. Warm caramel sauce and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable. Add a pinch of sea salt if desired. Drizzle warm caramel glaze generously over each apple caramel bomb before serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties.
  • If using store-bought caramel sauce, ensure it is thick enough to hold shape when placing inside the pastry.
  • These pastry bombs can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
