These Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs are a delightful twist on traditional apple pie, featuring flaky biscuit dough filled with warm cinnamon-spiced apple filling, air fried to golden perfection, and coated in melted butter and a sweet apple pie spice sugar mixture. They offer a quick, delicious dessert or snack that’s perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Dough

  • 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)

Apple Filling

  • 1 cup apple pie filling, diced
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Sugar Coating

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tsp apple pie spice

Finishing

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spiced Sugar: In a medium-size bowl, combine the granulated sugar and apple pie spice. Stir well and set aside; this mixture will be used to coat the apple pie bombs after air frying.
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Remove the biscuits from the can and carefully separate each into two layers to make 16 pieces total. Press each piece into a 4-inch circle to create a flat surface for the filling.
  3. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a small bowl, mix the diced apple pie filling with ground cinnamon until evenly combined, adding warmth and spice to the apples.
  4. Assemble the Bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple cinnamon filling into the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the dough sides over the filling, pinch to seal completely, then gently roll into a ball shape.
  5. Air Fry the Bombs: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the bombs in the basket spaced about 2 inches apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry at 350°F for 8–9 minutes until golden brown, rotating the basket halfway for even cooking.
  6. Coat with Butter and Sugar: Carefully remove the hot bombs from the air fryer. Dip each into the melted butter, coating all sides, then immediately roll in the spiced sugar mixture until evenly coated for a sweet aromatic finish.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the apple pie bombs warm for the best gooey texture, or allow them to cool to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Separating biscuits into two layers ensures a thinner dough perfect for wrapping the filling.
  • Rotating the air fryer basket halfway promotes even cooking and browning.
  • Use nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and help achieve a crisp exterior.
  • For extra spice, add more ground cinnamon or apple pie spice to the filling or sugar coating.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture, or store cooled bombs in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
