Description

Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are bite-sized, sweet treats featuring tender chunks of cinnamon-spiced apples cooked in caramel sauce, wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, and baked to golden perfection. This easy-to-make dessert combines classic apple pie flavors in a fun, portable form perfect for parties, snacks, or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Caramel Apple Filling

  • 3 Medium Apples
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (divided)
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Caramel Sauce

Assembly and Topping

  • 16 Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
  • 1 tbsp Granulated White Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash, peel, and chop the apples into small 1/2 inch pieces for even cooking and a tender texture.
  2. Cook the Filling: In a skillet, combine the chopped apples with brown sugar, ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the apples begin to soften, ensuring the mixture is fragrant and the apples balance sweetness with spice.
  3. Add Binding Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and caramel sauce, cooking for an additional minute to thicken and coat the apples. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool before assembly to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  4. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Lay each refrigerated crescent roll triangle flat on a clean cutting board to ensure easy filling and folding.
  5. Fill the Rolls: Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling on the larger end of each crescent triangle, centered to allow room for folding.
  6. Seal the Dough: Fold one corner over the filling and press down to seal. Repeat with the opposite corner, then tuck and fold in any sticking out dough pieces inward. Roll the dough toward the smaller end to form a neat parcel, pressing the seal firmly to avoid leaking during baking.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the assembled pie bombs on a baking sheet. Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with granulated white sugar and sprinkle evenly over the tops for a sweet, crunchy finish.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie bombs for 15-17 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown, fluffy, and cooked through.

Notes

  • Ensure the apple filling is cooled before filling the dough to prevent sogginess.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a more balanced sweet-tart flavor, or sweeter varieties if preferred.
  • The flour in the filling helps thicken the juices released from the apples during baking.
  • For extra caramel flavor, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the baked bombs before serving.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
