Apple Pie Bombs

### **Instructions**

#### **Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling**
1. In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the diced apples, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and let the apple filling cool slightly while you prepare the dough.

#### **Step 2: Prepare the Dough**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough) onto a clean surface. If using crescent rolls, pinch the perforated seams together to form rectangles or squares. If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit slightly.
3. Spoon a small amount of the apple filling onto the center of each dough piece—about 1-2 tablespoons, depending on the size of your dough pieces.

#### **Step 3: Form the Apple Pie Bombs**
1. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the apple filling, sealing the edges to form a little pouch or “bomb.”
2. Pinch the seams together tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

#### **Step 4: Bake the Apple Pie Bombs**
1. Place the sealed apple pie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for extra sweetness and flavor.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
