Tips for Success

• Use Crisp Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp provide the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
• Don’t Overfill: Too much apple can prevent proper sealing.
• Egg Wash Matters: Ensures a shiny, golden-brown exterior.
• Make Ahead: Assemble the bombs and refrigerate before baking to save time.
