Divide biscuit dough rounds into halves and press into parchment paper to create four-inch rounds. In a large bowl, stir together diced apples, brown sugar and one tablespoon of cinnamon. Place one tablespoon of apple mixture in the center of each circle of biscuit dough. Gather up the edges of the dough, then pinch together and roll between your hands to create a sealed ball.
Step 2: Coat the dough

Tips for Making Air-Fryer Apple Pie Bombs
Mackenzie Schieck For Taste of Home
Dice your apples to the right size: The dough balls will be easier to fill if the apples are diced small, rather than in bigger chunks.
Use the right amount of filling: Don’t overfill the dough balls or it will be difficult to seal them, causing the diced apples or cinnamon-sugar juices to ooze out.
Give the apple pie bombs enough room: Place the balls of dough at least half an inch apart to ensure they bake through.
Which apples are the best for this treat?
While there are several varieties of apples that are best for baking, people often use Granny Smith because their tartness pairs well with the sugar in apple pie and apple crisp.
Can I use anything besides biscuit dough?
Yes! You can certainly make your own fluffy biscuit dough from scratch, though the pre-made dough has an elasticity that makes these apple pie bombs particularly easy to make. If you’d like to try something a little different, swap out the biscuit dough for croissant dough, which will yield flakey apple pie bombs.
