Pie is probably the most requested dessert at our house but it’s the one I make the least often. I just hate fooling with pie crust when cookies and cakes are faster and easier. Well that is until I made these apple pie bombs! It is seriously simple and the crust is made with canned biscuit dough.

This is the perfect fall dessert and can be made in an air fryer or oven for an easy apple treat.

Ingredients for Churro Apple Pie Bombs Recipe

• Canned Biscuits
• Apple Pie Filling
• Butter
• Sugar
• Cinnamon

How to Make Apple Pie Bombs

1. Open pie filling and pour into a bowl. Using a fork and a knife, cut the apple slices into small pieces.

One can of pie filling will fill 2 cans of canned biscuits. I used half and saved the rest to make these again soon. Just store leftover pie filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not store in the can it came in.

2. Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes or oven to 375°.

3. Separate biscuits and pull each into two layers. 

4. Use a rolling pin to make biscuits into about a 4 inch circle. If the dough is sticky, just use a bit of all purpose flour on your board and rolling pin.

5. Spoon about a tablespoon of apple mixture onto each biscuit, don’t over fill. 

6. Fold edges of the dough together and pinch to seal. Try not to get the pie filling on the edges of the biscuits, because it doesn’t want to stick together if you do.

7. Roll biscuits into balls.

8. Place filled biscuits into the air fryer basket about 2 inches apart. My basket held 8 at a time. You don’t want the biscuits to touch so they cook evenly. 

9. Cook for 8 minutes or until golden brown. You can check to make sure the dough is cooked through by carefully pulling apart one from the bottom.
10. Melt butter and in a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.

11. One at a time, roll apple pie bomb in butter, letting the excess drip off.

12. Next, roll in cinnamon sugar, coating all sides.

13. Place on a wire rack and repeat steps with remaining ingredients.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Best if consumed within a few hours.

Conventional Oven Instructions

• Place apple bombs 2 inches apart on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• For a conventional oven: preheat to 375° and increase baking time to 15- 17 minutes, or until cooked through.

Recipe Notes and Variations

• Reheat: Cook at 300° in the air fryer basket for about 2 minutes.
• Caramel Apple Pie Bombs: Add a caramel candy to the apple filling or drizzle the baked apple treats with warm caramel sauce.
• Homemade Apple Pie Filling: Make your own filling with tart apples, brown sugar and cinnamon if you don’t have sweet apple pie filling on hand.
• Substitute for Can of Biscuits: Canned crescent rolls can be used or any homemade biscuit or pastry dough.
• Pecans: Add chopped pecans to the pie filling for added crunch.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, which is really unlikely, store in refrigerator covered up to 2 days.

These air fryer apple pie bombs are seriously delicious. The entire family loved them and they are easy enough to make any time. My kids are already asking me to make this delicious dessert again.

These taco bombs are a great hand-held snack, appetizer or dinner that everyone will love. They are packed with flavor and make a great make-ahead meal perfect for leftover ground beef.

Ingredients Needed

• Lean Ground Beef ~ We like 90/10, 80/20 will work too, just drain the excess grease before seasoning.
• Taco Seasoning ~ Homemade or your favorite store bought packet.
• Mild Picante Sauce or Salsa.
• Refrigerated Can Biscuits ~ We used original Grands Biscuits, Use homemade biscuit dough, crescent dough or pizza dough.
• All Purpose Flour ~ optional for rolling the dough.
• Colby-Jack Cheese ~ Cheddar or Pepper-Jack are great substitutes. We shredded the cheese but chunks of cheese or even cheese sticks work too.
• Butter
• Optional Garnishes: Sour cream, diced tomatoes, cilantro.

Step By Step Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.

Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, crumbling as it cooks until well browned. Drain any excess grease and discard.

Add taco seasoning and picante sauce, stir to combine and remove from heat.

Shred cheese.

While the ground beef is cooking, separate each biscuit into 2 halves by pulling apart the layers.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Roll flat into about a 3 inch circle on a lightly floured board or flatten with your hands directly on the lined baking sheet.

Shred the cheese and sprinkle about 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons of cheese over each dough round.

Top with ground beef mixture.

Pinch the outsides of the dough together to seal the dough ball. Flatten slightly and place on the lined baking sheet, seam side down.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle remaining cheese over the taco bombs.

Bake for 17-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven.

Serve with sour cream, diced tomatoes and cilantro if desired.

Recipe Notes

• Air Fryer Instructions: Cook biscuit bombs 4 at a time at 350° for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

• In a small bowl beat an egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush egg wash over the dough, coating all sides.

• Sprinkle the tops of the dough with everything bagel seasoning.

• Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels: Skip the flake salt and brush the pretzels with melted butter after cooking. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before serving.
