Step 3: Flatten the Biscuit Dough
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a small round using your fingers or a rolling pin. Aim for a circle large enough to hold the filling while still sealing easily—about the size of your palm.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Place a small spoonful of the cinnamon apple mixture in the center of each flattened dough round. Add a caramel candy (or a teaspoon of thick caramel sauce) on top of the apples. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause the bombs to leak during baking.
Step 5: Seal the Bombs
Gently bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together tightly to form a sealed ball. Roll the dough lightly between your hands to smooth the seam and ensure there are no openings.
Step 6: Butter and Coat
Dip each sealed dough ball into melted butter, making sure it’s fully coated. For extra sweetness and texture, roll the buttered bombs in granulated sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon. This step adds a lightly crisp, golden exterior.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the dough balls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed, golden brown, and fragrant.
Step 8: Cool Slightly and Serve
Remove the Gooey Apple Caramel Bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This resting time allows the caramel to thicken slightly while remaining gooey inside. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce before serving.
Final Thoughts
Gooey Apple Caramel Bombs are a delightful combination of simplicity and indulgence. With minimal ingredients and an easy method, you can create a dessert that tastes like it came straight from a bakery. Each bite offers warm apples, stretchy caramel, and soft, buttery dough—making these bombs impossible to resist. Serve them warm and watch them disappear in minutes.
