Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs

Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs are amazing! The sweet biscuit dough filled with apple pie filling, air-fried until golden brown, and then coated in ground sugar and cinnamon–absolutely delicious! This is such an easy fall dessert! And it’s all cooked up in a matter of minutes!

Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs

I love a great homemade miniature apple pie, and this is a fun new twist that you can do with your kids. There is nothing better than making something special for breakfast, and although this is not completely homemade. The kids appreciate it, and I love it.

I love baking, I always have, and I can bake these up perfectly in minutes with my air fryer!

If you become obsessed with baking with the Air Frye, like me, here are some great and easy Air Fryer Recipes for Desserts, AIR FRYER GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN BANANA NUT BREAD, AIR FRYER BANANA DONUTS, AIR FRYER BERRY CREAM MUFFINS, and AIR FRYER DINNER ROLLS.

What Are Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs?

Apple pie bombs are nothing more than biscuit dough (usually store-bought) filled with an apple pie filling. The dough is then wrapped around the pie filling and then air-fried.

Today, I dipped the air-fried pie bombs into a sweet and savory coating of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon!

I have been making them for years, my mother used to make them in the oven, and I believe she found the original recipe in a package of biscuit dough from Pillsbury.

Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs Ingredients

How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs

 How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and ground cinnamon, and set aside. Remove the biscuit dough from the can and separate biscuits into 15 to 16 layers. 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.

Use your hands to pinch the biscuit closed in a ball shape.

Pro 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 use homemade biscuit dough, and the recipe will remain the same.
  • I usually dice the apple filing filling into small pieces.

Can I Make These In The Oven or Convection Oven

Yes, my mother was making it for years. Before I even knew what an Air Fryer was, they are easy to make and are a great baking project for the kids.

Make them as directed, place them on a greased baking sheet, place them into a preheated oven at 375 degrees F, and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.

After they are baked, dip them into melted butter, and roll them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

What Biscuits Do You Use For These?

Since you need to separate the biscuits, you should really use Grands by Pillsbury since the dough splits easily.

If you only have regular biscuits, don’t worry about splitting them, as it will not be an easy process. However, this will increase your cooking time by a couple of minutes since your dough is thicker.

How To Store And Reheat Apple Pie Bombs With Biscuits

These do not store well, but if you do have any, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into a Ziploc Bag, or airtight container.

Leave them at room temperature, where they will last a day or two.

If you would like to warm them up before serving, either heat them in the microwave for a couple of seconds or heat them in the air fryer at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting for 1 to 2 minutes.

What Other Fillings Can I Use?

Once you make these, you will want to keep on making them, and they are so good. My kids and I have experimented with the following, with great results:

Note: You can not use jams as it is too thin, and will not give you the same taste.

  • Cherry Pie Filling
  • Peach Pie Filling
  • Blueberry Pie Filling
  • Almond Pie Filling
  • Raspberry Pie Filling

How To Serve Miniature Apple Pies

Miniature apple pies are a sweet and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is simple to follow and only requires a few ingredients. You can serve it with vanilla ice cream, warm caramel sauce, or even a bit of cinnamon mixture on top! All the flavors of an apple pie in minutes!

Serve these apple pie treat at your next party or gathering, and your guests will be sure to enjoy these sweet treats!

Recipe Notes
