These delicious Blueberry Pie Bombs are an easy and fun dessert or snack that come together quickly using biscuit dough and a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
- 1 cup (262 g) blueberry pie filling
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for sprinkling or coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Open the can of Pillsbury Grand biscuits and separate the 8 biscuits.
- Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a round disc, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Add the Filling:
- Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of blueberry pie filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaks during cooking.
- Seal the Bombs:
- Gently bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal.
- Roll the sealed biscuit lightly in your hands to form a smooth ball, ensuring there are no openings.
- Prepare the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Brush with Butter:
- Place the prepared dough balls seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each for expansion.
- Brush each dough ball generously with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with Sugar:
- Sprinkle the tops of the buttered bombs with granulated sugar.
- Cook the Bombs:
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bombs to cool for 2-3 minutes before handling, as the filling will be hot.
- Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with icing for extra sweetness.
Optional Variations:
- Add a Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream and drizzle over the bombs after cooling slightly.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: After brushing with butter, roll the bombs in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar instead of plain sugar.
- Other Fillings: Swap blueberry pie filling for apple, cherry, or peach pie filling for a different flavor.
Storage and Reheating Tips:
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F (160°C) for 2-3 minutes for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
These Blueberry Pie Bombs are perfect for a quick treat, party dessert, or even breakfast with a cup of coffee!
