Ingredients in Blueberry Pie Bombs

Here’s the delicious lineup that makes these pie bombs explode with flavor:

Refrigerated Biscuit Dough

Your shortcut to success. This gives you a flaky, buttery base without the hassle of homemade dough.

Blueberry Pie Filling

Rich, sweet, and full of juicy berries—this is where all the fruity magic comes from.

Cream Cheese (Optional)

A little dollop of cream cheese makes the center creamy and gives the bombs a cheesecake-like vibe. Totally optional, but totally amazing.

Melted Butter

Brushed over the bombs for that gorgeous golden color and extra richness.

Sugar + Cinnamon

A light dusting before baking gives the outside a lovely sweet crunch and that warm, cozy flavor.

Powdered Sugar

Used to make a simple glaze that gets drizzled over the top—because why not add a little extra sweetness?

Milk or Cream

Mixed with the powdered sugar to make the glaze silky smooth.

Instructions

Let’s whip up some of these sweet, juicy Blueberry Pie Bombs!

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Flatten the Biscuit Dough

Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each one slightly with your fingers to create a small circle.

Add the Filling

Spoon a small amount of blueberry pie filling into the center of each biscuit round. If using, add a small cube or teaspoon of cream cheese on top of the filling.

Seal and Shape

Gently fold the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch them closed to form a ball. Place each one seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.

Brush with Butter and Sugar

Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar. This gives them that golden, caramelized finish.

Bake Until Golden

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up beautifully.

Glaze Time

While the bombs cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle it over the warm bombs for that final sweet touch.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm, and enjoy every gooey, fruity, cinnamon-sugary bite!
