Ingredients

¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
3 tsp apple pie spice
1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
1 cup apple pie filling, chopped small (243 g)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113 g)

How to Make These Spiced Apple Snacks

Prep the coating. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and apple pie spice. Set aside.

Flatten the dough. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers and flatten each into a 4-inch circle. You should have 16 total.
Fill and seal. In a small bowl, mix the chopped apple pie filling with cinnamon. Spoon 1 tablespoon into the center of each dough circle. Fold and pinch the edges tightly to seal, then roll gently into balls.

Air fry. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place dough balls 2 inches apart in batches. Spray the tops with more cooking spray. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Coat in butter and sugar. While warm, dip each bomb in melted butter, then roll in the sugar-spice mixture to coat completely.

Serve. Enjoy warm or let cool to room temp—if they last that long!

Tips for Perfect Biscuit Dough Treats

Chop the apple filling finely so it stays inside the dough.
Seal the dough well to prevent leaks during air frying.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer—work in batches.
Try serving with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Why These Apple Pie Bites Are on Repeat in My House

I whipped these up on a whim one Sunday when I had leftover apple pie filling and a can of biscuits nearing expiration. One batch later, my family was hooked. They’re now our go-to quick dessert for fall movie nights and last-minute gatherings. Bonus: they make your kitchen smell like a cozy apple orchard.

What to Serve with Apple Pie Bombs

Pair with hot cider, chai lattes, or cold milk. They’re great on their own but even better with caramel drizzle or a powdered sugar dusting. Add them to a fall dessert tray with cookies and brownies for a crowd-pleasing spread.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes at 325°F to crisp them up again. Avoid microwaving—they’ll get soggy.
