🫐 Blueberry Pie Bombs

🕐 Total Time: 25–30 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 8–10 bombs

📌 Skill Level: Easy

These pie bombs are made using store-bought biscuit dough or crescent roll dough, stuffed with blueberry pie filling, and baked or air-fried to golden perfection. Think of them as mini hand pies—without all the fuss.

🧁 Ingredients:

🔸 For the Pie Bombs:

1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
(e.g., Pillsbury Grands biscuits — or use crescent roll dough and seal it into squares)
1/2 cup blueberry pie filling
(store-bought or homemade; see below for a quick version)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)

🔸 For Optional Coating or Glaze:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
OR 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tbsp milk (for a simple glaze)
OR serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

🍽️ Instructions:

🔧 Step 1: Preheat

Oven method: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Air fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) if your model requires it.

🥣 Step 2: Prep the Dough

Lightly dust your work surface with flour.
Separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds.
Gently flatten each piece into a 4–5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

🫐 Step 3: Add Filling

Spoon about 1 to 1½ teaspoons of blueberry pie filling into the center of each dough circle.
Carefully pull the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal.
- Make sure no filling is leaking out, or it may burst during baking.

🧈 Step 4: Bake or Air-Fry

🧁 Oven Method:

Place bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

🍃 Air Fryer Method:

Place bombs in a greased air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
Brush with butter.
Air-fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden.

🎉 Step 5: Optional Coating or Glaze

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

Mix sugar + cinnamon in a bowl.
While the bombs are warm, brush them with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar.

Powdered Sugar Glaze:

Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tbsp milk until smooth.
Drizzle over warm or cooled pie bombs.

💡 Tips:

Don’t overfill or the bombs may burst.
Let cool slightly before serving — the filling gets very hot!
Use silicone baking mats or parchment for easy cleanup.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or zest to the filling for brightness.

🫐 Quick Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling (Optional):

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat until bubbly (3–5 mins).
Stir in cornstarch slurry. Simmer until thickened.
Cool before using.

❓ FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie filling?

Yes, but you’ll want to cook them briefly with sugar and cornstarch (see the homemade filling above) to create a thicker mixture. Using raw berries can make the dough soggy.

Q2: What kind of dough works best?

Refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands) works great.
Crescent roll dough also works—just seal the seams.
Homemade pie crust or puff pastry are other options, though they may take longer to bake.

Q3: Can I freeze them?

Yes!

Before baking: Freeze assembled bombs on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
After baking: Let them cool, then freeze. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.

Q4: Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble and refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Bake when ready. They’re best fresh but reheat well.

Q5: What other fillings can I use?

Other fruit pie fillings: Apple, cherry, peach, or strawberry.
Chocolate chips + marshmallows for a s’mores version.
Cream cheese + jam for a cheesecake bomb.

Q6: Can I deep fry them instead of baking?

Yes. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry for 2–3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar or glaze after.
