Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8-count) pillsbury grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
- 1 cup (243 g / 8.6 oz) apple pie filling (with apples cut into small pieces)
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) granulated sugar
- 3 tsps apple pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Spice Preparation: Whisk sugar with apple pie spice, creating an aromatic coating blend, and set aside for later use.
- Dough Manipulation: Separate biscuit dough into thin circles, stretching each piece to a uniform round shape.
- Filling Enhancement: Mix apple pie filling with ground cinnamon, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Assembly: Place a precise portion of spiced apple filling in the center of each biscuit circle, then carefully fold and seal edges, forming compact spherical parcels.
- Air Fryer Preparation: Coat the air fryer basket with nonstick spray, then strategically position the dough bombs with adequate spacing, lightly misting their tops with cooking spray.
- Cooking Process: Set air fryer to 350°F and cook for 8-9 minutes until pastries achieve a rich, amber-brown exterior.
- Final Touch: Immediately after cooking, dunk warm bombs in melted butter, then roll generously in the prepared spice-sugar mixture for a decadent, crispy finish.
Notes
- Prep Precision: Stretch biscuit dough carefully to create uniform circles, preventing uneven cooking or leaks.
- Filling Finesse: Use room temperature apple pie filling to ensure even distribution and prevent cold spots inside the pastry.
- Sealing Secrets: Pinch dough edges thoroughly and twist slightly to create a tight seal, preventing filling from escaping during air frying.
- Coating Technique: Roll warm bombs in spice-sugar mixture immediately after cooking to help the coating adhere perfectly and maximize flavor intensity.
