Looking for a treat that combines the nostalgic flavors of apple pie with the gooey decadence of caramel? These Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are your answer! Perfect for dessert lovers, these little bundles of joy are filled with caramel, spiced apples, and wrapped in soft, golden dough. They’re quick to prepare, making them a crowd-pleasing dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (divided)
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (e.g., Gala)
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 30 caramels, unwrapped and divided (e.g., Kraft)
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 12 frozen white dinner roll dough balls (e.g., Rhodes)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: Allow the frozen dinner roll dough balls to thaw at room temperature until soft and pliable, as per package instructions.
- Cook the Apple Filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and the mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Prepare the Rolls: Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out each dough ball into a 4-inch circle.
- Assemble the Bombs : Place 1 tablespoon of the cooked apple filling and one caramel candy in the center of each dough circle. Pull the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching to seal completely.
- Bake the Bombs: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each bomb with the remaining melted butter and a touch of heavy cream for a golden finish. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and puffy.
- Optional Garnish: While still warm, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the caramel inside will be hot. Enjoy warm for the best experience!
