Ingredients

For the Pie Bombs:

• 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits (buttermilk or flaky layers)

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

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the Glaze:

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1-2 tablespoons milk

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  

  Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten Biscuits: Gently flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  3. Fill: Place 1 tablespoon of  blueberry pie filling in the center of each  dough circle.
  4. Seal: Carefully gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Gently roll in your hands to form a smooth ball.
  5. Bake: Place the bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with melted  butter and sprinkle with sugar (and cinnamon, if using). Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Glaze: While the bombs cool slightly, whisk the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed for a thinner consistency.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm pie bombs and serve immediately.

  Pro Tips for Success

  • Seal Tightly: Ensure there are no holes in the dough to prevent the filling from leaking.

  • Don’t Overfill: Using more than a tablespoon of filling can cause the bombs to burst open.

  • Add Crunch: Use coarse sugar for sprinkling for a delightful crunchy texture.

  • Air Fryer Option: For a crispier result, air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.

  • Customize: Feel free to use any pie filling you like, such as cherry, apple, or peach!

  Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
