Apple Pie Bombs – Appetizer Recipes Everyone Will Love

These Apple Pie Bombs are the kind of appetizer recipes that catch people off guard—in the best way. One bite and you're wrapped in this warm cinnamon sugar hug that tastes like autumn rolled into a golden, buttery crescent. Honestly, they look like something from an apple pie aesthetic Pinterest board, but they take way less effort than you'd guess. I first made these when I needed something sweet but didn’t have the energy to make a full pie. So I grabbed a tube of crescent rolls, spooned in some apple filling, and hoped for the best. Turns out, they’re kind of addictive. Crispy edges, gooey centers—think apple pie moonshine recipes meet easy recipes appetizer style. If you're looking for something quick for a potluck, brunch table, or late-night treat, these hit the mark. They even pair well with an Apple Pie Moonshine Cocktail. Yes, I tried it. No regrets. So whether you’re collecting the best apple recipes or just need a new recipe appetizer, let’s make some bombs—pie bombs, that is.

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup apple pie filling, chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  3. Place a small spoonful of chopped apple pie filling at the wide end of each triangle.
  4. Roll each triangle tightly into a ball, sealing all edges to prevent leaking.
  5. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush each ball with melted butter.
  7. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the dough balls.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving—unless you're like me and risk mouth-burns for warm apple goodness.
