Blueberry Pie Bombs Recipe

Introduction

Blueberry Pie Bombs are a delightful twist on classic fruit pie, offering a bite-sized, hand-held treat bursting with sweet blueberry filling. Perfect for a quick dessert or a fun snack, these golden bites are easy to make and cook quickly in an air fryer.

Ingredients

• 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
• 1 cup (262 g) blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Separate the biscuits from the can and carefully peel each biscuit into two layers. Pat each layer into a 4-inch circle to create 16 circles in total.
2. Step 2: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling into the center of each circle.
3. Step 3: Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal and shape each into a ball.
4. Step 4: Brush each ball with melted butter on both the top and bottom, then sprinkle with granulated sugar for a sweet crust.
5. Step 5: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
6. Step 6: Place the balls in the air fryer basket, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Step 7: Air fry at 330°F for 7-8 minutes or until the bombs turn golden brown.
8. Step 8: Serve the blueberry pie bombs warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

• Use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of flaky layers for a soft, pillowy texture that seals well around the filling.
• Try substituting blueberry filling with other fruit fillings like cherry, apple, or peach for different flavors.
• Brush the bombs with cinnamon sugar instead of plain sugar for a spiced twist.

Storage

Store any leftover blueberry pie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the air fryer or oven at a low temperature until heated through to restore crispness and softness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I bake these in a conventional oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake the pie bombs in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

What if I don’t have blueberry pie filling?

You can easily substitute with any other fruit pie filling you have on hand, or make your own blueberry compote by cooking fresh blueberries with sugar and a bit of lemon juice.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Biscuit Dough

• 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)

Filling

• 1 cup (262 g) blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)

Topping

• ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Separate and Roll Out Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and peel to separate each biscuit into two layers, resulting in 16 thin biscuit circles. Pat each layer into a 4-inch circle.
2. Add Blueberry Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling into the center of each biscuit circle.
3. Seal and Shape: Fold the dough sides together over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Roll each sealed piece into a smooth ball shape.
4. Brush with Butter and Sugar: Brush both the tops and bottoms of the dough balls generously with melted butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar for a sweet, crisp crust.
5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the biscuit balls in the air fryer basket, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for even cooking.
7. Air Fry: Cook the bombs in the air fryer at 330°F for 7-8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the blueberry pie bombs and serve warm for a delicious treat.

Notes

• Ensure biscuits are not flaky layers as they won’t hold the filling well.
• The blueberry pie filling can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
• Air fryer temperatures may vary; monitor cooking the first time to avoid burning.
• Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
