Print Recipe

Warm, gooey, and easy-to-make Apple Caramel Bombs with spiced apples and a caramel surprise baked in a flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala), peeled, cored, diced small
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water (optional)
  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough, or 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 8 soft caramel candies (or 1/2 cup caramel bits)
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar, for topping (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  3. If very juicy, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 30-60 seconds. Cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare dough: If using biscuits, split each and press into 4-5 inch rounds. If using puff pastry, cut into 8 squares. Keep dough cold.
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of apple filling and 1 soft caramel in the center of each piece of dough. Seal tightly.
  6. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 14-18 minutes until golden and puffed. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

These treats can be made ahead and frozen unbaked for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
