I’m sharing an Apple Pie Bomb recipe!  It’s like having your own mini apple pie and you don’t have to share.  To me fall is all about warm apple pie and ice cream.  You just can’t beat it!

Apple Pie Bomb by The Casual Craftlete This recipe makes four apple pie bombs and is quite easy to make.  First, you start by making your pie crust.  I make mine the night before, just to same me some time.  Plus, it has to chill at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.  No special equipment is needed to make this pie crust.  It’s just a basic butter crust that my grandma used to make.  Instead of using a food processor or pastry cutter, I used two forks to cut the butter into the flour.  You do want to make sure your wet ingredients are very cold.  I placed the stick of butter into the freezer for about 15 minutes just to make sure it was nice and cold.  I also placed a couple of ice cubes into a cup of cold water.  This will help get the desired buttery flaky crust you want.

I used 4 large Honeycrisp apples, which I peeled and cored.  All the apples get coated with a mixture of corn starch, granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Instructions
  1. Start by making your pie crust.

  10. Place each apple into the center of the rolled out dough.
  11. Fill the inside of the apples with butter and the left over cinnamon sugar mixture.
