Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 g / 10.6 oz) diced apples (peeled and cored)
- 1 can (16 oz/454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) granulated sugar (for coating)
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) granulated sugar (for filling)
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Apple Compote Preparation: Sauté diced apples with butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a skillet until tender. Incorporate cornstarch slurry to create a rich, cohesive filling that will be the heart of these delectable pastry bombs.
- Dough Transformation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Gently manipulate biscuit dough into delicate rounds, creating a perfect canvas for the apple filling.
- Filling and Sealing: Centralize a spoonful of cooled apple mixture onto each dough circle. Skillfully gather and pinch edges, forming secure parcels that completely envelop the spiced fruit filling. Mold into smooth, sealed spheres.
- Baking Process: Arrange bombs seam-side down on the prepared sheet. Bake until they emerge as golden, puffy delicacies, typically requiring 12-15 minutes of careful roasting.
- Final Touch: Craft a sweet-spiced coating by mixing sugar and cinnamon. Post-baking, generously brush each bomb with melted butter, then roll thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for complete coverage.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these irresistible treats while piping hot, potentially accompanying with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a luxurious caramel drizzle for ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Filling: Cool apple compote completely before stuffing to avoid moisture breaking down the dough and creating a wet, mushy texture.
- Control Portion Size: Use exact measurement of apple mixture to ensure each bomb has consistent filling without overstuffing, which can cause leakage during baking.
- Seal Edges Carefully: Pinch and fold dough edges meticulously, creating a tight seal to prevent filling from escaping and maintain the bomb’s structural integrity during baking.
- Customize Sweetness Level: Adjust sugar in apple compote based on apple variety – tart apples need more sugar, while sweeter apples require less to maintain balanced flavor profile.
