1 teaspoon cinnamon – 0 points
1 tablespoon butter – Swap with light butter – 1-2 points
1 teaspoon lemon juice – 0 points
1 tablespoon cornstarch – 0 points
2 tablespoons water – 0 points

Optional sugar-free caramel drizzle: 1-2 points (depending on amount used)
Total without caramel: 20 points for 8 bombs
Total with caramel: 22 points for 8 bombs

Instructions:
- Prepare Homemade Apple Pie Filling (if using):
In a saucepan, add diced apples, brown sugar substitute, cinnamon, lemon juice, and butter.
Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth, then stir it into the apple mixture. Cook for another minute until it thickens.
Let cool before using in the bombs. - Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Assemble the Apple Pie Bombs:
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces.
Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling (either homemade or store-bought) into the center of each dough circle.
Carefully pinch the dough around the filling to form a ball, ensuring the seams are sealed. - Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, mix the sugar substitute and cinnamon.
Brush each apple pie bomb with the melted light butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. - Bake:
Place the coated apple pie bombs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through. - Optional: Drizzle with Caramel Sauce
If desired, drizzle the baked bombs with sugar-free caramel sauce for extra sweetness and flavor.
