Grandma’s Blueberry Pie Bombs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (8-count) can Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (not the flaky layers)
- 1 cup blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Open the can of biscuits and separate each one into two rounds.
- Flatten each round into a 4-inch circle.
- Fill the Biscuits:
- Place about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling in the center of each biscuit circle.
- Fold the edges over the filling, pinching them firmly to seal and form a ball.
- Butter and Sugar Coating:
- Generously brush the top and bottom of each pie bomb with melted butter.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar on top.
- Air Fryer Preparation:
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray and preheat it to 330°F.
- Arrange the pie bombs in the preheated air fryer basket, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
- Air fry in batches for 7-8 minutes, until the pie bombs are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve:
- Serve the blueberry pie bombs warm for a delightful, nostalgic treat.
Chef’s Tips:
- Cream Cheese Variation: For an extra creamy filling, spread room temperature cream cheese over the biscuits before adding the blueberry pie filling.
- Fruit Variations: Experiment with different fruit pie fillings like cherry, apple, or peach for a variety of flavors.
- Oven Baking: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the pie bombs in a preheated 375°F oven for 12-14 minutes.
- Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla ice cream for an added touch of decadence.
