🫐 Blueberry Pie Bombs

Introduction

Blueberry Pie Bombs are warm, flaky, golden parcels bursting with sweet blueberry filling. Imagine biting into a buttery, sugar-dusted biscuit that hides a surprise blueberry pie center—it’s like a mini pie without all the rolling, chilling, and fuss. Perfect for brunch, afternoon coffee, dessert platters, or sneaky late-night snacks, these handheld treats bring the comfort of homemade pie into a fun, bite-sized form.

Ingredients

For the Pie Bombs

  • 1 can (16.3 oz / 462g) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
  • 1 cup (240g) blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions & Methods

1️⃣ Prepare the Oven & Pan

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Assemble the Pie Bombs

  1. Separate biscuit dough into 8 rounds.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
  3. Place 1–2 tablespoons of blueberry pie filling in the center.
  4. Gently pull edges up over filling and pinch to seal tightly—like a pouch.
  5. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

3️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Brush tops with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.

4️⃣ Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Brush each warm pie bomb with melted butter.
  3. Roll in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.

History & Background

The concept of “pie bombs” is a modern twist on classic fried pies and hand pies, which have been around for centuries. While traditional hand pies date back to medieval England as “portable meals,” the biscuit dough hack became popular in the U.S. for its speed and flaky texture. The blueberry filling ties back to classic American summer pies, making this treat both nostalgic and trendy.

Formation Tips

  • Seal well: Pinch dough edges firmly to avoid blueberry leaks.
  • Extra flavor: Add a tiny cube of cream cheese with the blueberry filling for a cheesecake-like surprise.
  • Air fryer option: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for a faster, crispier version.

Conclusion

Blueberry Pie Bombs prove that great desserts don’t have to be complicated. With minimal prep and just a few pantry staples, you get a golden, sugary crust hiding a warm blueberry burst inside. They’re easy enough for weekday treats but impressive enough for special occasions.

❤️ For the Dessert Lovers

If you:

  • Love blueberry pie but dread making crust from scratch 🫐
