Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Filling: If making homemade apple pie filling, peel, core, and dice the apples. Combine with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan and cook for about 5–7 minutes until soft. Stir in cornstarch mixed with water, then cool slightly.
  2. Assemble the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit, place a spoonful of apple filling in the center, and fold the dough over the filling, pinching edges to seal.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Prepare a bowl of granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon for coating.
  4. Cook the Bombs: Arrange filled biscuits in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown. Shake basket halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove from basket, brush with melted butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture, and serve warm.
