There’s something deeply comforting about warm apple desserts—especially when paired with buttery caramel. These Gooey Apple Caramel Bombs are the perfect blend of crisp fall apples, rich caramel, and flaky biscuit dough.

🌍 Origin and Cultural Significance
This dessert is a playful American creation that draws inspiration from traditional caramel apples and Southern-style biscuit baking.

Think of it as a cross between apple dumplings, fairground caramel apples, and homemade cobbler.
