Pie Bombs: A Bite-Sized Treat
As someone who loves pie, I always find myself craving a slice but hesitant to bake a whole pie for a single person. That’s why I’m excited to share these pie bombs with you! They’re a perfect bite-sized treat of yummy goodness that won’t leave you with wasted pie. These pie bombs are easy to make and perfect for a quick dessert or a fun party snack. And since today is National Pie Day, what better way to celebrate than with these delicious treats?
Pie Bombs
Ingredients –
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits, not flaky layers
- 1 cup pie filling
- 1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Steps –
Remove the biscuits from the can and separate each biscuit into two layers. Using a rolling pin, roll each layer of biscuit into 4-inch circle. Total of 16 circles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pie filling into the center of each circle. Don’t over fill.
Use your fingers to pull sides together and pinch to seal. Roll into balls.
Bush all sides of the bombs with the melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Working in batches, place the bombs into an air fryer basket about 2 inches apart.
I use disposable basket liners for easy clean up.
Air fry at 330°F for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Oh, these pie bombs are simply delicious! They are already tasty on their own, but if you want to take it up a notch, you can serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. What’s more, they make a fantastic potluck dessert since they are easy to eat and bring along.
Variations
Just so you know, you can use any type of fruit filling for these delicious treats. Some other great options include blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or even a mix of your favorite fruits. And if you want to add some extra flavor, you can try adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
But wait, there’s more! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try making savory pie bombs using ingredients like cheese, ham, or chicken. The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun with it!
Tips and Tricks
- Be sure to leave a small border around the edges of the biscuits circles when filling them, to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- You can make these pie bombs ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven before serving for best results.
These pie bombs are such a great and convenient alternative to baking a whole pie, and with just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious treat that everyone will love. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick dessert or you’re looking for a fun party snack, these pie bombs are sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
