Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs – I Am Baker (Video)

While I am more of a meat and potatoes girl, I do love just about every kind of apple dessert.  I am a HUGE fan of Amanda over at I Am Baker!!  You can learn more about Amanda here, and I can tell you the joy she has for baking comes through in all of here recipes. 

I really enjoy using my Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer, and really love it for my desserts, along with chicken, beef, pork and, of course, roasting veggies:

Best Air Fryer for a Family

Enjoy fried foods at home without all the mess, hassle, and oil of deep frying but with all the flavor and texture you love. Ours is family-sized to quickly cook up to six servings, a whole chicken or roast, or appetizers for a crowd. Like a convection oven, super-heated air circulates giving food a crispy texture. No preheating is necessary, saving you precious time. Conveniently fits under kitchen cabinets.

Air Fryer, Rotisserie, & Dehydrator All-in-One

Ours does more than just better-for-you air frying. It makes perfectly-cooked rotisserie chicken, crispy outside and tender inside, so you can skip the hit-or-miss ones at the grocery store. And it dehydrates fruits, veggies, and herbs so you can enjoy their fresh flavors well beyond the season.

Ingredients

For the apple pie filling

  • 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced and diced into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, brought to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

For the apple pie bombs

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • 1 8-ounce can of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits NOT flaky layers
  • 1 cup apple pie filling (above)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup (one stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

For the apple pie filling:

Peel, core and dice apples.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine apples and water, cooking for six minutes, giving a stir every so often.  Add butter, then stir to incorporate. 

Meanwhile, combine sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and nutmeg, whisking well. Add mixture to the apples and butter, stirring constantly until sauce is thick, approximately two minutes.  Remove from heat, and set aside. 

For the apple pie bombs:

Separate each biscuit into two pieces, then use your rolling pin to roll each into a 4-inch circle.  

Combine 1 cup of the apple pie filling with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.  Using small scoop, fill center of biscuit with one tablespoon of the filling.  Pinch to seal each biscuit and form into balls.

Use kitchen spritzer to lightly spray air fryer trays with oil, then place eight apple pie bombs onto each tray. Bake at 350°F/175⁰C for 8-9 minutes, or until golden brown.

While they are baking, combine sugar and apple pie spice, and place in one of the coating trays.  Melt butter, then place in another coating tray. 

Once they are finished baking, roll first in the melted butter, then in the sugar mixture to coat. Serve immediately.
