Caramel Apple Bombs

Recipe from: https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a56465/caramel-apple-bombs-recipe/

Jim LOVES apple pie, and these are the perfect way to have dessert without a whole pie. Each bomb requires 1 biscuit, about 1/2 apple, 1 Tbs pecans, and 1 caramel candy.

We skip the glaze and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!



Yields: 8
INGREDIENTS

• Cooking spray
• 1 tbsp. butter, plus 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 apples, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (we added these for crunch)
• 1 (16.3-oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (do NOT use the kind with the little chunks of butter in it)
• 8 caramel candies, cut into fourths
• 1/3 c. cinnamon sugar
• 3/4 c. powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp. cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Make apples: Preheat oven to 350° and grease a medium cooking dish with cooking spray. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Remove biscuits from can and stretch/flatten out slightly. Add one caramel candy (4 pieces to equal a whole candy) and a large scoop of apple mixture to the center of a biscuit and create a ball, pinching together the loose ends of biscuit dough.
3. Place into a cooking dish (a pie plate works great if you're making all 8) and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make glaze: Mix together powdered sugar and cream in a medium bowl. When biscuits are out of the oven, drizzle with glaze and serve.
