Ingredients You’ll Need (and Why They Matter)
For the Blueberry Pie Bombs:
1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits – These form the flaky, golden crust. Use buttermilk or buttery layers for extra flavor.
1 cup blueberry pie filling – The star of the show! Bursting with juicy sweetness and vibrant color. You can use homemade or store-bought filling.
1 tablespoon granulated sugar – Adds a light caramelized sweetness to the crust as it bakes.
2 tablespoons melted butter – Brushed over the biscuits to create that irresistible golden sheen.
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) – Gives a warm, comforting flavor that pairs perfectly with blueberries.
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures even baking and easy cleanup.
2. Flatten the biscuits. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently press each biscuit into a flat circle about 4 inches wide. This creates enough space to hold the filling without bursting open.
3. Add the blueberry filling. Place about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks during baking.
4. Seal the bombs. Carefully bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal. Roll each ball gently in your hands to form a smooth, sealed sphere.
5. Brush and coat. Arrange the sealed bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush each one with melted butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor and crunch.
6. Bake to perfection. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
7. Make the glaze. While the bombs bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk (for a thinner glaze) or more sugar (for a thicker one).
8. Drizzle and serve. Once the bombs are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Serve warm for that gooey, pie-like experience.

Pro Tips for Perfect Blueberry Pie Bombs
Seal them tightly. Make sure there are no gaps or openings before baking — this prevents filling from oozing out.
Don’t overfill. A little goes a long way! Too much filling can cause the bombs to burst.
Add crunch. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a bakery-style finish.
Air fryer option: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes for an even crispier texture.
