Every bite of these air-fryer apple pie bombs tastes like a warm slice of apple pie. Only they're easier and faster to make, and adorably handheld.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tube (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°. In a small bowl, combine first four ingredients; set aside.
  2. Separate biscuits. Separate layers into two, horizontally. Flatten each to 1/4 in. Fill with 1 tablespoon filling, bring edges together to seal into a ball. In batches, place doughnuts in a single layer on greased tray air-fryer basket. Spritz with non-stick spray. Cook until golden brown and puffed, about 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter and vanilla. Toss bombs into butter mixture; then toss in sugar mixture. Serve warm.
