Ingredients

These ingredients are simple and easy to find, and they come together to make a delicious, mouthwatering dessert. You don’t need to fuss with complex ingredients or time-consuming preparations. Here’s what you’ll need:

1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (avoid flaky layers): These biscuits form the perfect base for your pies. They bake up light, flaky, and perfectly golden.
1 cup blueberry pie filling: You can use store-bought pie filling for convenience or make your own with fresh blueberries, sugar, and a bit of cornstarch.
½ cup unsalted butter, melted: This will be brushed on the top of the pies to create that golden, crispy texture.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar: A sprinkle of sugar on top gives the pies an added sweetness and a slight crunch.

Variations for Blueberry Bomb Pies

Feel free to customize your Blueberry Bomb Pies to suit your taste or dietary preferences. Here are some variations you can try:

Add a Cream Cheese Filling: For an extra creamy texture, add a layer of sweetened cream cheese before the blueberry filling.
Try Different Fruit Fillings: While blueberry is classic, you can also use cherry, apple, or mixed berries for a unique twist.
Use a Flaky Crust: If you prefer a more traditional pie crust, feel free to use puff pastry or store-bought pie crusts.
Make it Vegan: Swap the butter for a plant-based version and choose vegan biscuits to make this recipe dairy-free.
Top with a Streusel: Add a crumbly streusel topping made with flour, sugar, and butter for a crunchy finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Bomb Pies

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making these scrumptious blueberry pies! The process is super simple, and the end result is well worth the effort. Follow these steps to make your own batch of Blueberry Bomb Pies:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer or Oven

If you’re using an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a traditional oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your pies cook evenly and come out crispy and golden.

2. Prepare the Biscuits

Open the can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits and separate the dough. Take each biscuit and gently flatten it out with your fingers or a rolling pin. You don’t want to make them too thin, just enough to create a nice base for the filling.

3. Add the Blueberry Pie Filling

Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of blueberry pie filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, as the filling may spill out during cooking.

4. Fold and Seal the Pies

Carefully fold the dough over the blueberry filling, creating a half-moon or pocket shape. Press the edges together to seal the pie. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to make sure the filling doesn’t leak out during cooking.

5. Brush with Melted Butter

Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top of each pie with melted unsalted butter. This will help the pies turn golden and crispy as they cook.

6. Sprinkle with Sugar

For that extra touch of sweetness and crunch, sprinkle a little bit of granulated sugar on top of each pie. This step is optional, but it gives the pies a beautiful finish.

7. Cook the Pies

Air Fryer Directions:

Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the pies in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other to allow for proper air circulation.
Cook the pies for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the pies from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Oven Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pies on the sheet.
Bake the pies at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and puffed up.
Once the pies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Serving and Decoration

How to Serve Blueberry Bomb Pies

These pies are perfect for any occasion and can be served in various ways:

As a Quick Dessert: Serve these warm, straight out of the air fryer or oven, for a comforting dessert.
With a Scoop of Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream makes for a decadent dessert experience.
Drizzle with Whipped Cream: Top with freshly whipped cream for added creaminess.
Serve with a Dusting of Powdered Sugar: A light dusting of powdered sugar on top of the pies gives them an elegant touch.
In Breakfast or Brunch Spreads: Serve them as part of a larger spread for breakfast or brunch.

Storing Blueberry Bomb Pies

These blueberry pies are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, don’t worry! Here’s how to store and reheat them:

Storing Leftovers: Allow the pies to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate them for up to 4 days.
Freezing: If you want to store them for a longer period, freeze the pies. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, until warmed through and crispy.
