🥣 Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling (Optional):
If you’d like to make your own filling:
Ingredients:
-
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp lemon zest
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
-
1 tbsp water
Instructions:
-
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and zest over medium heat.
-
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water into a slurry, then stir into the blueberry mixture.
-
Cook until thickened (5–7 minutes), stirring often.
-
Let it cool before using in pie bombs.
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits
-
Separate the biscuits and flatten each into a 4–5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
-
If desired, mix lemon zest into the blueberry pie filling for extra flavor.
Step 3: Fill the Pie Bombs
-
Place about 1 tablespoon of blueberry filling in the center of each biscuit circle.
-
Be careful not to overfill — it may leak during baking.
-
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.
-
Gently roll into a ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed.
Step 5: Add the Coating
-
While pie bombs are still warm, brush them with melted butter.
-
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon (if using).
-
Roll or sprinkle each pie bomb in the sugar mixture until coated.
Step 6: Serve
-
Let cool slightly before serving — filling will be hot!
-
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. You can also drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze if you want extra sweetness.
🍽️ Optional Vanilla Glaze:
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tsp milk
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:

Mix until smooth and drizzle over cooled pie bombs.
✅ Tips:
-
You can substitute blueberry filling with apple, cherry, or peach pie filling.
-
Make it in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for an extra crisp version.
-
Seal edges well to prevent leakage during baking.
