Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 can 8-count refrigerated Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (not flaky layers)
  • 1 cup canned apple pie filling diced into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Cooking oil spray for the air fryer basket

Method
 

  1. Open the biscuit can and separate the 8 biscuits. Place them on a clean work surface.
  2. Use your fingers to gently press each biscuit into a flat circle about 4 to 5 inches wide.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the diced apple pie filling and ground cinnamon and stir until the apples are evenly coated.
  4. Place about 1 generous tablespoon of the cinnamon apple filling in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  5. Pull the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball. Roll each ball gently between your hands to smooth the seams.
  6. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and apple pie spice. Pour the melted butter into a separate shallow bowl.
  7. Working one at a time, roll each sealed dough ball in the melted butter, letting excess drip off, then roll in the sugar spice mixture until fully coated on all sides.
  8. Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Arrange the coated pie bombs in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each for air circulation.
  9. Air fry at 350 F for 7 to 9 minutes until the pie bombs are deep golden brown and the seams look set and slightly bubbly.
  10. Carefully remove the pie bombs from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.

Notes

- Keep the seams tightly pinched to prevent the filling from leaking during air frying.
- Cook in batches if needed so the pie bombs are not crowded and can crisp evenly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 320 F for 3 to 5 minutes until warmed through and crisp.
