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.

Apple Roses – Delish (Video)

Every season has its benefits, and autumn is no exception.  I love this time of year, especially for all of the apple and pumpkin recipes I get to try out!  These apple roses from Delish were a treat to make, and I hope that you will like them, they’re so easy to put together.

For this recipe, I used my Stone Bar Pan. I use this pan for so much of my baking – did you know that you can cook bacon in the oven?  It’s the easiest way for me, set the oven to 425⁰F, cook bacon for 18-20 minutes, that’s it!  Our stoneware does not absorb odors, so you never have to worry about your desserts smelling like salmon, for instance.  Now, they are also dishwasher safe!  Here’s the info:

Stone Bar Pan

Sheet Pan Dinners

This pan is just the right size for packaged brownie mixes and ooey-gooey bar cookie mixes, biscuits, sheet pan dinners, chicken, frozen foods, crispy pizza, or reheating leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, everything cooks consistently and turns out light and crispy.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new Stone Fusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Made in the USA

Apple Cider Donuts

It’s that time of year, time to pick some apples! I love to bake, and found a great recipe in the New York times by Erin Jean McDowell for baked apple cider donuts. Sometimes I find it difficult to get hold of a recipe from them, as they constantly want me to subscribe, lol. However, this time I was able to get this recipe with no problem. Hope you enjoy it. Here it is:

What you’ll need:

  • 1 ¾ cup/225 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
  • ¾ cup/165 grams light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup/120 milliliters apple cider

    Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg; Set aside.

I also added in some Pea Protein -shhh!

In another bowl, mix together 10 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup white sugar and all of the brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time. Be sure to mix thoroughly between each addition.

Add in your vanilla extract.

Add the flour mixture and small increments, being sure to combine thoroughly without over mixing.

While the mixer is running, pour the apple cider into the batter in a slow stream. 

Brush your donut pan lightly with a neutral oil.

Use the easy accent decorator to fill the donut wells.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until donut springs back when touched and cake tester comes out clean when inserted.

Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool 10 minutes more.

Mix the remainder of granulated sugar with the remaining cinnamon, whisk well.

Melt the rest of the butter in one of the coating trays. Place cinnamon sugar in another coating tray. Dip each donut first into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon sugar.

All done! Please let me know if you try this recipe, and what, if anything, you would add or change.

If you have any left, you can freeze them for a couple of months, or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
