-
Use firm apples: Soft apples break down too quickly; Granny Smith and Honeycrisp hold their texture well.
-
Seal tightly: To prevent caramel leakage, pinch seams firmly or use a bit of beaten egg to glue edges.
-
Don’t overfill: A heaping tablespoon of filling is enough to keep them intact during baking.
-
Cool slightly before glazing: If too hot, the glaze may slide off instead of sticking beautifully.
-
Add sea salt: A light sprinkle of salt enhances caramel flavor and cuts through the sweetness.
-
Make ahead: You can assemble the bombs ahead of time, refrigerate them for up to 24 hours, and bake when ready.
-
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4. Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) for best texture.
