What’s is this, you ask. What is
this a picture of?
Well it’s the most
incredible, most decadent, crazy delicious thing you’ll ever eat! It’s so good it makes you dizzy. These are my Caramel Apple Pie
Bombs
and there is nothing on this earth like them! Starts with a pre-made frozen
dinner roll and ends up the most ooey-gooey goodness that will knock your socks
off. You know you have incredible when you take a
bite and that caramel just oozes out. You will make these over and over again. SO GOOD!
Caramel
Apple Pie Bombs
2 tablespoons softened
or melted butter
½ cup apple pie
filling (or more if you need it)
4 tablespoons light
brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons ground
cinnamon
30 Kraft Caramels,
unwrapped and divided
All-purpose flour,
(for dusting hands and work surface)
12 frozen white
dinner roll dough balls, (I use Rhodes)
2 tablespoons heavy
cream
Preheat the oven to
350 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter
and set aside. You can use non-stick spray but I like the buttery taste on the
rolls.
Combine the apples pie filling, 3 teaspoons brown sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir. Set aside.
Unwrap the caramels
and cut 18 of them into quarters. Set aside. Lightly flour your work surface.
This gets sticky.
Flatten each dough
ball into a circle about 3 inches across. I use my fingers to pull and stretch
and flatten. Kind of like you’re making a pizza.
Add some of the apple
mixture and top with a few of cut caramel pieces; 4-6 pieces should do it.
The Tricky Part:
Carefully pull each
side of the dough up to the top and pinch as if you are making a pouch or
purse. Keep going around the dough to make sure all the ingredients are inside
and not falling out. It’s really very simple once you get the hang of it. You will see as you pull the dough the
ingredient fall back to the center.
Once you have created the “package,” you want to flour your hands and roll it into a ball. Be careful to make sure you cannot see through the dough. If you have any tears or can’t seal the dough, tap your fingertips in flour, pinch any tears and roll again.
Place the dough ball
in the prepared dish, seam side down. Repeat until all of the apple pie bombs
are in the dish and touching each other. Brush the apple pie
bombs with the softened or melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 4
tablespoons of brown sugar.
Bake the bombs for 30
to 35 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and they are no longer doughy.
Meanwhile, place the remaining 12 caramels and the heavy cream in a glass measuring cup and microwave until melted, 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval. Once you have a smooth mixture, set aside to slightly cool.
Remove the apple pie
bombs from the oven and drizzle the top with the caramel sauce.
