Grandma’s Blueberry Pie Bombs are delightful pockets of sweet blueberry filling wrapped in buttery biscuit dough, air-fried to golden perfection. These nostalgic treats combine the convenience of store-bought biscuits with the classic flavor of blueberry pie, making for a quick and delicious dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 (8 count) can Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (not the flaky layers)

Filling

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

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuit rounds: Remove the biscuits from the can and separate each biscuit into two rounds. Pat each round into a 4-inch circle ensuring they are even thickness for proper wrapping.
  2. Add the filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling into the center of each biscuit circle, making sure not to overfill to prevent leaking.
  3. Seal the pie bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling and pinch firmly to fully encase the filling, then shape each into a neat ball for even cooking.
  4. Coat with butter and sugar: Brush the top and bottom of each pie bomb generously with melted butter, then sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar to create a sweet, crisp crust.
  5. Prepare the air fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and preheat the air fryer to 330°F to ensure a non-stick and evenly heated cooking surface.
  6. Air fry in batches: Place the pie bombs in the preheated air fryer basket about 2 inches apart so air circulates well. Air fry for 7-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  7. Serve warm: Remove the blueberry pie bombs carefully and serve them warm to enjoy the gooey filling and crispy crust at its best.

Notes

  • Ensure the edges are pinched tightly to avoid blueberry filling leakage during cooking.
  • You can use homemade blueberry pie filling for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • For an extra touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of glaze.
