Ingredients
• 1 (8-count) can Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (not the flaky layers)
• 1 cup blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
1. Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit into two rounds.
2. Pat each round into a 4-inch circle.
Step 2: Add the Filling
1. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling into the center of each biscuit circle.
2. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching them firmly together to seal. Shape into a ball, ensuring there are no gaps for the filling to escape.
Step 3: Butter and Sugar
1. Brush the top and bottom of each pie bomb generously with the melted butter.
2. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops for a sweet, caramelized finish.
Step 4: Air Fry
1. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray and preheat to 330°F (165°C).
2. Place the pie bombs into the preheated air fryer basket, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Work in batches if needed.
3. Air fry for 7–8 minutes, or until the pie bombs are golden brown and crisp.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
1. Let the pie bombs cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth with the hot filling.
2. Serve warm, either plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips
• Seal the Edges Well: Ensure the edges are tightly pinched to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
• Experiment with Fillings: Try different fruit fillings, Nutella, or cream cheese for variety.
• Oven Alternative: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the pie bombs in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Storage Options
• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
• Freezing: Freeze uncooked pie bombs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the air frying time.
Blueberry Pie Bombs are a fun and delicious dessert that’s easy enough to make any day of the week. Whether you’re serving them to guests or enjoying them as a sweet treat for yourself, they’re sure to bring a smile with every bite!
