🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8 Pie Bombs)
For the Bombs
1 (8-count) can refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky layers or buttermilk)
1 cup blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade*)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional—but cozy!)
For the Vanilla Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk (or cream for richness)
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
💡 Homemade filling hack: Simmer 1 cup fresh/frozen blueberries + 2 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp lemon juice for 5 mins until thickened. Cool before using.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Prep the Biscuits
Open biscuit can and separate dough rounds.
Gently stretch or roll each biscuit into a 5–6 inch circle (use a rolling pin or your fingers).
→ Thinner = crispier; thicker = softer center.
3. Fill & Seal
Place 1–2 tsp blueberry filling in the center of each circle.
→ Don’t overfill! (Filling expands—too much = leaks.)
Fold dough over to create a half-moon shape.
Press edges firmly with a fork to seal (crimp for extra security!).
Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Brush tops with melted butter.
Sprinkle with sugar + cinnamon (if using).
Bake 12–15 minutes, until deep golden brown and puffed.
Let cool 5 minutes on pan (filling is molten-hot!).
5. Glaze & Serve
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over warm pie bombs.
Serve immediately—best warm and gooey!
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Pie Bombs
Chill filling first: Cold filling = less leakage.
Seal tightly: Use a fork to crimp edges—no gaps!
Bake on middle rack: Ensures even browning.
No glaze? Roll warm bombs in cinnamon sugar instead.
Make ahead: Assemble unbaked bombs, freeze on tray, then store in bag. Bake from frozen (+3–5 mins).
🍓 Flavor Variations
Mixed berry: Use triple-berry pie filling
Lemon-blueberry: Add 1 tsp lemon zest to filling
Savory twist: Skip sugar, fill with cheese + herbs (yes, really!)
Apple cinnamon: Swap filling for spiced apple pie filling
🥣 Serving Suggestions
Classic: Warm with vanilla ice cream
Brunch: Alongside coffee and fresh fruit
Party platter: Arrange on a tiered stand with powdered sugar dusting
Gift idea: Pack in a bakery box with a ribbon—perfect for neighbors or teachers!
