Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying out all ingredients and ensuring your air fryer is clean and ready.
- Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean cutting board. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together to create a sweet spice blend.
- Lightly spray the inside of your air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Take each crescent dough triangle and gently stretch it slightly to make it more pliable.
- Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into the center of each dough triangle.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching and sealing the edges to create a complete sealed "bomb" or pocket.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of each sealed dough pocket.
- Carefully place the prepared apple pie bombs into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the apple pie bombs using tongs and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm and optionally dust with additional powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
Tips
- Make sure your crescent roll dough is cold but not frozen for the easiest handling.
- Don't overfill the dough - too much filling can cause leaks during cooking.
- Seal the edges of your "bombs" completely to prevent filling from escaping.
- Leave some space between each bomb in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- For extra decadence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- If you want a more intense apple flavor, consider adding a tiny drop of apple extract to your filling.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray specifically designed for air fryers to prevent sticking.
- Let the bombs cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on hot filling.
