Ingredients for Blueberry Pie Bombs

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for coating)

Instructions for Blueberry Pie Bombs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

• In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gently stir to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits

• Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-4 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
• Place 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry filling in the center of each flattened biscuit.

Step 4: Seal the Pie Bombs

• Carefully bring the edges of each biscuit up and around the blueberry filling, pinching them together at the top to seal completely. Make sure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking out.
• Place the sealed pie bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Bake the Pie Bombs

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pie bombs are golden brown.

Step 6: Coat the Pie Bombs

• In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using).
• Brush the baked pie bombs with the melted butter, then roll them in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Notes

• Seal Well: Make sure to pinch the edges tightly to avoid any of the filling leaking out while baking.
• Fresh or Frozen: You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. If using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture.
• Serve Warm: These pie bombs are best served warm, but they’re delicious at room temperature too.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Different Fillings: Try using cherry, apple, or peach pie filling for a different flavor.
• Cream Cheese Addition: Add a small dollop of cream cheese to each pie bomb for a creamy twist.
• Glaze: Drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled pie bombs for extra sweetness.
