In a small bowl, mix the sugar and apple pie spice completely and then set it aside.

In a separate small bowl, combine the apple pie filling with a teaspoon of cinnamon to add even more flavor and mix it well to combine.

Step 2: Prepare the biscuits

Take the biscuits from the refrigerator and cut each of the biscuits half.

After cutting the biscuits, flatten out each biscuit to thin it out, about 4 inches across.

Step 3: Fill the biscuits

With each of the biscuit halves, form a little bowl and add a tablespoon or so apple pie filling mixture to the center of each circle.

Then finish assembling the apple pie bombs by:

Cover the biscuit over itself.
Pinch the seams together to close to seal them.
Roll into a ball.
Repeat this for the remaining amount of biscuits.

Step 4: Place bombs in the air fryer

Place the balls into an air fryer basket about an inch or two apart. You will likely need to work in batches.

Step 5: Cook the apple pies

Once the pie bombs are in the air fryer, air fry at them at 330˚F or 166˚C for 8 minutes. Flip the bombs, and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the tops are fully cooked and golden brown.

Carefully remove the balls from the air fryer, dipping each in melted butter.
