holidays, or anytime you’re craving a warm, caramel-apple dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit or crescent roll dough
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 12 soft caramel candies
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: caramel sauce for drizzling
Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
Pre-made biscuit or crescent dough makes prep quick and easy.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Flatten each piece of dough slightly. Place a spoonful of apple mixture and one caramel candy in the center.
- Wrap dough around filling, pinching seams to seal, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush each bomb with melted butter.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired for extra gooeyness.
Storage & Reheating
- Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 5–7 minutes to restore gooey texture.
- Not recommended for freezing as caramel may harden unevenly.
