These caramel apple pie bombs are a quick and easy fall finger food dessert that combines the sweet tartness of apples with gooey caramel in a flaky, golden crust. Perfect for parties or cozy nights in, they deliver all the warm flavors of apple pie in a portable, mess-free bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium apples (about 450g / 1 lb) peeled, cored, and diced into small cubes
  • ½ cup (120ml) caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 package (about 14 oz / 400g) refrigerated pie dough, butter-based
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted butter
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Add melted butter and mix gently to combine.
  3. Roll out the pie crust to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness if not pre-rolled. Cut into 3-inch (7.5 cm) squares.
  4. Place a heaping teaspoon of apple filling into the center of each square. Drizzle about ½ teaspoon of caramel sauce over the filling.
  5. Fold each square into a triangle or pouch and pinch edges tightly to seal.
  6. Place the bombs on the baking sheet. Brush each with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until crust is golden brown and caramel is bubbling. Check after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to avoid mushy filling. Seal edges tightly to prevent leaking. Chill assembled bombs before baking for better shape retention. Egg wash can be made with whole egg for deeper color or just egg white for lighter shine. Coarse sugar adds crunch and sparkle on top.
