-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and the mixture has thickened. Set aside to cool.

Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then roll each pie bomb in the mixture while still warm.

Notes
