Apple Fritter Bombs
These easy Apple Fritter Bombs are made with biscuit dough, apple pie filling, and a sweet glaze, just like a mini apple fritter! Cook them in the air fryer for a quick, golden brown treat, or bake them in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Warm cinnamon apples inside and a soft doughy outside make them the perfect quick dessert or anytime sweet snack.
Servings: 16 apple fritter bombs
Calories: 234kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (243 g) apple pie filling, with apples chopped into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grands biscuits, not flaky layers
Glaze
- 3 cups (375 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 4-6 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the diced apple pie filling and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- Remove biscuits from the can. Separate each biscuit into two layers to make 16 rounds.
- Flatten each piece into about a 5-inch circle.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture into the center of each dough circle.
- Fold up the sides and pinch tightly to seal. Roll each filled biscuit gently into a smooth ball.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
- Place balls into the basket about 2 inches apart. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
- Air fry* at 350°F for 8–9 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the bombs cook, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. The glaze should be thick, yet pourable; add more milk a few drops at a time if too thick.
- Once the bombs are done, let them cool for 2–3 minutes. (They should still be warm, but not piping hot).
- Dip each bomb into the glaze, or drizzle glaze generously over the tops.
- Set glazed bombs on a wire rack over parchment to catch drips.
- Allow the glaze to set slightly (about 5–10 minutes) before serving.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
