Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs
A fun twist on traditional apple pie, these air fryer apple pie bombs are filled with spiced apples, wrapped in flaky pastry, and cooked to golden perfection in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Bombs
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg (for egg wash) optional for color
- to taste caramel sauce for drizzling optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
Assembly
- Open the package of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- Take a spoonful of the apple mixture and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough around the filling, sealing the edges well.
Cooking
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the bombs. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra sugar and cinnamon on top.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the apple pie bombs in the basket without touching and air fry for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let them cool for a minute before drizzling with caramel sauce, if using. Best served warm.
Notes
Seal the edges well to prevent filling escape. Experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavors. A lumpy filling adds character and flavor.
