How to Make Apple Caramel Bombs

Step 1 — Cook the Apples

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized. Let cool slightly.

Step 2 — Prep the Dough

Lay out the biscuit or crescent dough. Flatten each piece slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 3 — Fill

Place a spoonful of apple mixture in the center of each dough piece. Add one caramel candy (or a teaspoon of caramel sauce) on top.

Step 4 — Seal

Gather the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Roll lightly in your hands to smooth.

Step 5 — Bake

Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6 — Optional Finish

Brush with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar for an extra-cozy finish.
