Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup apple pie filling (chop apples into small pieces)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling – Open the apple pie filling and chop the apples into small pieces so they fit easily inside the dough.
- Assemble the Bombs – Flatten each biscuit with your hands, spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple filling into the center, then pinch the edges to seal tightly.
- Air Fry – Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the bombs seam-side down in the basket (do not overcrowd) and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar – Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Brush each bomb with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until well coated.
- Serve Warm – Enjoy as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
Tips & Variations
- Extra Gooey – Add a caramel square inside before sealing.

- Make Ahead – Assemble and refrigerate, then air fry fresh before serving.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
