Baking Time: 15-20 minutes
Servings: 12-16 bombs
Best Time to Serve: Ideal for parties, family gatherings, or as an afternoon snack!

Ingredients

1. Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (15g)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (30g)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

2. For the Bombs:

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (30g)

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (12g)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

πŸ”Ή Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. In a medium-sized skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

  2. Add the diced apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice over the apples. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the apples are tender and the sugar has melted into a syrup. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

πŸ”Ή Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as per the packaging instructions.

  3. Brush each dough triangle lightly with the melted butter.

πŸ”Ή Step 3: Assemble the Apple Pie Bombs

  1. Spoon a small amount of the cooled apple filling (about 1 tablespoon) into the center of each dough triangle.

  2. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the apple filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal them into little balls. Ensure the apple filling is fully enclosed by the dough.

  3. Arrange the dough bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down.

πŸ”Ή Step 4: Coat and Bake the Bombs

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

  2. Brush the tops of the apple bombs with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

  3. Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

πŸ”Ή Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Once baked, let the apple pie bombs cool for a few minutes before serving.

  2. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired!

Tips for the Perfect Apple Pie Bombs

  • Apple Choice: For a tart contrast, Granny Smith apples work wonderfully, but feel free to use your favorite variety of apple!

  • Storage: These apple pie bombs are best served fresh. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

  • Crispier Bombs: For an extra crispy outer layer, bake the bombs for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the apple filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to assemble, it’ll be quick to put everything together.

Calories (estimated)

  • 1 apple pie bomb: ~150-180 kcal (depending on the size of the dough portion and the amount of filling)

Energy-Saving Tips

  • Use refrigerated dough to save time on preparation. If you want to make your dough from scratch, try preparing it the day before and refrigerating it until ready to use.

  • You can make a larger batch and freeze any leftovers. Just bake them and then freeze before adding the cinnamon sugar; when ready to serve, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes.

Who Would Enjoy This?

  • Anyone who loves warm, gooey apple pie in a fun, bite-sized format.

  • Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or as a quick dessert after dinner.

  • Great for kids and adults alike, especially when served with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.
