Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into eight uniform triangles. Lay them flat.
  2. Add Filling: Place approximately 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling in the center of each triangle.
  3. Seal: Fold the dough edges over the filling and pinch seams tightly to create filled dough balls.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Set to preheat at 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
  5. Mix Coating: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  6. Coat: Brush melted butter on the outer surface and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Air Fry: Place dough balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Cool: Carefully remove the bombs and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack or plate.
  9. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
