Ingredients Needed
- Apple Pie Filling – Cut the slices of apples for the pie filling into smaller pieces.

How to Make Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs
Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and ground cinnamon, then set aside. Remove the biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits into 15 to 16 layers.
Step Two: With the help of a rolling pin, roll them out so you have an even 4-inch circle. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the center of each circle.
Step 3: Use your hands to pinch the biscuit closed in a ball shape so that it looks like a mini apple pie donut hole.
Step 4: Roll over the table to finish shaping the ball. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
Step 5: Either use parchment paper or spray your basket with cooking spray. Set the uncooked mini apple pie bites into the air fryer, and spray generously with cooking spray. Air fry at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 6: Dip each mini apple pie donut hole into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated on all sides.
Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs Recipe Tips
- One of the most important steps is to use your fingers and really pinch the ends, so the pie filling does not leak out.
- If you find that dough frequently sticks to your basket, use a piece of parchment paper to line the basket.
- You can also use homemade biscuit dough and the mini apple pie recipe will taste the same.
- I usually dice the apple filing into small pieces.
