Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, just until the apples soften a bit and the mixture looks syrupy. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a circle about 4 inches wide.

Assembly and Baking

Place about 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each biscuit circle, then top with 1 caramel candy.
Seal the edges tightly by pulling them up and pinching them together. Roll each bomb gently in your hands to form a smooth ball, seam side down on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with milk or melted butter and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the caramel to thicken.
Optional: Roll warm bombs in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with powdered sugar glaze or melted caramel before serving.

Notes

Make sure to cool the apple filling slightly to prevent the dough from becoming too soft. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate if it’s warm. To freeze, allow to cool completely and freeze on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
