INGREDIENTS:
APPLE FILLING:
- Two medium peeled diced apples
- One tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp vegan unsalted butter
- One tbsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp water
DOUGH:
- 1 can refrigerated vegan biscuit dough
CINNAMON SUGAR COATING:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Half cup melted vegan unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
INGREDIENT NOTES:
APPLES:
- Apples make the soft and fruity center of the bombs. You may use a combination of two apple varieties as another choice.
VEGAN UNSALTED BUTTER:
- Vegan butter gives the apple filling a rich flavor and makes a smooth cinnamon coating. Utilize vegan margarine as another choice.
GRANULATED SUGAR:
- Sugar makes the apple filling and the cinnamon coating sweet. It also makes the apples glossy and syrupy when we cook. You may use cane sugar as an alternative.
REFRIGERATED VEGAN BISCUIT DOUGH:
- The biscuit dough makes the soft outer shell around the apple filling. It makes this recipe much faster than preparing homemade pastry. You may use vegan crescent dough as a substitute.
VEGAN BUTTER FOR COATING:
- Melted vegan butter sticks the cinnamon sugar to the outside of each apple pie bomb. It also adds richness and makes the outside become golden while baking. Utilize melted refined coconut oil as another choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, put the vegan butter in the saucepan over medium heat and melt gently.
- Cook the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon for 5 minutes so the apples become soft.
- Cover the sheet with baking paper and warm the oven to 375°F.
- Separate the vegan biscuit dough into 8 separate biscuits and flatten them gently to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add 1 tbsp apple filling in the middle of each biscuit and bring the edges over the filling.
- Pinch the edges to seal the filling and roll the filled biscuits gently to make balls.
- Place the melted vegan butter in a small bowl, then mix sugar with cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Dip the balls in the melted vegan butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Arrange the apple pie bombs on the sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Lastly, take the dessert from the oven and cool for some time, then serve warm.
