How to Make Apple Pie Bombs

Quick Overview

Apple Pie Bombs are a breeze to make! With just a few key ingredients and a handful of steps, you’ll have a sweet treat that’s not only satisfying but also a joy to share. The best part? You can have these prepared and ready to eat in about 30 minutes. That’s right—no long hours in the kitchen!

Key Ingredients for Apple Pie Bombs

Here’s what you’ll need to bring these delightful treats to life:

  • 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 medium-sized apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure a perfectly baked, golden crust.
  2. Prepare Your Apples: In a bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and melted butter. Stir until the apples are well coated and leave aside for a few minutes.
  3. Roll Out Crescent Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles.
  4. Fill and Form Bombs: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) on the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the filling, pinching the ends to seal.
  5. Bake: Arrange the bombs on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  6. Finish and Serve: Allow the bombs to cool for a few minutes, drizzle with caramel sauce, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!

What to Serve Apple Pie Bombs With

Pair your Apple Pie Bombs with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert combination! The creamy texture of the ice cream melds beautifully with the warm apples and crispy crust. Also consider serving them with freshly brewed coffee for a delightful afternoon treat or pairing them with a light salad to balance out the meal.

Top Tips for Perfecting Apple Pie Bombs

  • Apple Varieties: Choose apples that maintain their shape when baked, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, to avoid mushiness.
  • Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the apple filling for extra texture and flavor!
  • Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on your Bombs towards the end of the baking time to avoid over-browning.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Leftover Apple Pie Bombs should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you wish to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness. If you want to store them for an even longer period, they freeze well wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag for about 2 months.

With these easy steps and tips, you’re well on your way to creating the most delightful Apple Pie Bombs. They’re not just a treat; they’re an explosion of flavor that brings joy and warmth to any gathering. So what are you waiting for? Grab those ingredients and start making magic in your kitchen! Enjoy!
