Ingredients

The best part? You probably have most of these ingredients hanging out in your pantry already! Here’s what you need:

• 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are excellent choices)
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, I won’t tell!)
• 1 can biscuit dough (the kind that pops open—you know the one)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (because why not?)

Steps to Create Your Gooey Apple Caramel Bombs

1. Preheat Your Oven

First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and toasty for those bombs to bake to perfection.

2. Prep Your Apples

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. No need for them to be perfect; we’re going for rustic and delicious here! Toss the diced apples with the cinnamon and set aside.

3. Time to Assemble!

Pop open that can of biscuit dough. Here’s a little tip: if it makes a loud noise when it pops, just chuckle and remind yourself that’s the sound of goodness on its way!

Flatten each biscuit out with your fingers. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center, followed by a nice drizzle of caramel sauce. (Don’t be shy—let that caramel flow!) Fold the biscuits over, pinching the edges to seal them like a little treasure chest of flavor.

4. Bake the Bombs

Brush those wrapped bombs with melted butter and roll them in sugar. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and your kitchen starts to smell like a cozy café.

5. Drizzle and Serve!

Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a hot minute (we don’t want any burnt tongues!). Drizzle more caramel sauce over the top, and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra decadent.

Cooking Tips for Success

• Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic!
• If you want to get creative, add some chopped nuts or raisins to the apple mixture for a little added crunch or chew.
• Need a quicker version? Use pre-made caramel apple dessert mix found at the store. It’s a great shortcut that still tastes amazing!
