cinnamon
granulated sugar
unsalted butter (melted)
powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
milk or cream (optional, for glaze)
vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)

directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Flatten each biscuit round slightly and place a spoonful of chopped apple pie filling in the center.

Fold the edges over the filling and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.

Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

While the bombs bake, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Once baked, brush the warm bombs with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

For a glazed option, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bombs.
