Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs
1. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and apple pie spice. Set aside for coating the finished bombs.
2. Prepare the biscuit dough
Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit into two layers, creating 16 dough pieces.
Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.
3. Make the apple filling
In a small bowl, mix the apple pie filling with cinnamon. Chop the apple pieces into small chunks if needed.
4. Fill the dough
Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Roll the dough gently into a ball.
5. Prepare the air fryer
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the apple pie bombs into the basket about 2 inches apart.
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
6. Air fry
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown.
7. Add the coating
Remove the apple pie bombs from the air fryer.
Dip each one in melted butter, then roll it in the apple pie spice sugar mixture.
