Dough
- 1 can jumbo biscuits (five count)
Filling
- 3/4 cup apple pie filling (apple cuts into small pieces)
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Prepare the filling: Put the apple pie filling in a bowl and use a knife to slice through the apples to make the pieces smaller, ensuring easy filling and even cooking.
- Divide the dough: Separate each biscuit into two parts to create the dough pieces for the bites.
- Shape the dough: Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten them to about 1/4 inch thickness to form a small dough circle ready for filling.
- Fill the bites: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each dough circle, taking care not to overfill.
- Seal the bites: Pinch the dough edges together around the filling to enclose it fully, repeating for all the dough pieces.
- Prepare the air fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line the bottom with parchment paper; place the assembled bites with about 1 inch spacing between each to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry: Cook the apple pie bites at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Mix topping sugar: While the bites cook, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, setting it aside for coating later.
- Melt butter: Melt the butter in a separate bowl and set it aside for dipping the cooked bites.
- Cool slightly: Remove the apple bites from the air fryer once golden brown and let them cool for a few minutes to handle safely.
- Dip and coat: Dip each warm apple bite into the melted butter, then roll it thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Final cooling: Place the coated apple pie bites on a wire rack to cool further before serving, allowing the topping to set.
Notes
- Cut large apple pieces in the pie filling smaller for better bite size and easier rolling.
- Use parchment paper in the air fryer to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make sure the dough is sealed well around the filling to avoid leaks during cooking.
- Serve these bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
