Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) can Grands ‘Big’ biscuits, flaky
- 1 (21 ounces / 595 grams) can apple pie filling or caramel apple pie filling
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Craft a sweet-spiced coating by blending granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow container, reserving for later use.
- Prepare a deep, heavy-bottomed pan by filling it approximately halfway with vegetable oil, ensuring sufficient depth for complete submersion of pastry spheres.
- Gently separate each biscuit into delicate layers, carefully flattening each piece using fingertips or a rolling implement to create uniform circular surfaces.
- Position a dollop of apple pie filling precisely at the center of each dough circle, strategically placing the fruity core.
- Meticulously seal the edges, pressing firmly to create secure, compact spheres that will prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Warm oil to a precise 325°F, utilizing a cooking thermometer to maintain consistent temperature throughout the frying process.
- Delicately lower 2-3 pastry spheres into hot oil, rotating gently to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration. Fry for approximately 5 minutes until achieving a crisp, amber exterior.
- Extract each golden bomb using a slotted spoon, immediately transferring to the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture and rolling to create a sweet, fragrant coating.
- Present these decadent treats warm, inviting immediate consumption for optimal texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature biscuit dough for easier handling and better dough manipulation when creating the pie bombs.
- Ensure apple pie filling is not too watery to prevent leakage during frying by draining excess liquid beforehand.
- Seal dough edges completely with gentle pinching and pressing to prevent filling from escaping while deep frying.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 325F using a kitchen thermometer for evenly golden and crispy exterior without burning.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or pre-made gluten-free pastry dough.
- Cool pie bombs on a wire rack to prevent bottoms from becoming soggy from trapped moisture.
- Experiment with different fruit fillings like cherry, peach, or blueberry for variety in flavors.
