Notes
Chop apple pie filling finely for easier sealing.
Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking or frying.
Crescent roll dough gives a flakier result, while biscuit dough yields a soft, puffy bite.
Use a muffin tin to help bombs keep their shape while baking.
For homemade filling, sauté chopped apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
