Storage Tips
If you find yourself with leftover caramel apple pie bombs, don’t worry—you can easily store them for later enjoyment. Simply place the cooled bombs in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to three days. When ready to eat, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness, making them just as delightful as when they were first baked.
For longer storage, consider freezing the bombs. Just freeze them before baking, placing them on a baking sheet in a single layer until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, there’s no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time for fresh-from-the-oven goodness!
Pairing Beverages
Pairing beverages with your caramel apple pie bombs can enhance the dessert experience even more. A nice cup of warm spiced cider or a rich chai tea can create a comforting atmosphere that complements the warm flavors of the bombs perfectly. For those who prefer something with a kick, consider serving a caramel-flavored cocktail or a sweet dessert wine to round out the decadent treat.
If you’re hosting a larger gathering, offering a selection of drinks can cater to different preferences. Providing both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options will ensure that everyone can find something they enjoy, making your gathering memorable for all the right reasons.
