My daughter, who is 12, (hint also where the Monet comes from in my blog name) loves to bake. Honestly she is better at baking than me. I am more of a cook. We had a slow Sunday and she was wanting to bake something fallish, so we found this Pinterest recipe and she made it while I was running errands. Pretty impressive honestly! Plus, if you find yourself with tons of apples from apple picking too this is a fun thing to make with the kid to use some of them up. Recipe and link provided below.
This is a fun treat for you to make yourself for fall or with your kids. The caramel is warm and sticky with a surprise of cinnamon apple inside. We paired it with vanilla ice cream. Here is the recipe she followed.

CRAZY CARAMEL APPLE PIE BOMBS
Crazy Caramel Apple Pie Bombs are the pull apart bread of your dreams. This fabulous recipe is packed with caramel and apples and baked to perfection. Pull one open and a river of sweet caramel runs over the apple pie bombs.PREP TIME: 15 MINSCOOK TIME: 30 MINSTOTAL TIME: 45 MINS
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided
- 2 medium apples, peeled cored and diced (I used gala)
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 30 caramels, unwrapped and divided (I use Kraft)
- All-purpose flour, (for dusting)
- 12 frozen white dinner roll dough balls, (I used Rhodes)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter and set aside.
- Combine the apples, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Set aside. Unwrap the caramels and cut 18 of them into quarters. Set aside. Lightly flour your counter top.
- Flatten each dough ball into a circle about 3 inches across. You can use a rolling pin or you can pull the dough around the edges like you are making a mini pizza. Add 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture and 6 of the cut caramel pieces.
- Carefully pull each side over the center to create a “package,” and then roll the dough into a ball. Be careful to make sure you cannot see through the dough. If you have any tears or can’t seal the dough, tap your fingertips in flour, pinch any tears and roll again.
- Place the dough ball in the prepared dish, seam side down. Repeat until all of the apple pie bombs are in the dish. Brush the apple pie bombs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bake the bombs for 30 to 35 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and they are no longer doughy.
- Meanwhile, place the remaining 12 caramels and the heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval. Once you have a smooth mixture, set aside to cool.
- Remove the apple pie bombs from the oven and drizzle with the caramel sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!
