Description
Golden, buttery, bite-sized pastries filled with juicy blueberries — Blueberry Pie Bombs are the perfect quick treat for breakfast, dessert, or snacking.
Ingredients
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 1 can (16.3 oz) — provides a quick and flaky base for each pie bomb.
- Blueberries: 1 cup fresh or frozen — offer juicy bursts of fruit flavor.
- Sugar: 2 tablespoons — sweetens the filling just enough to enhance the berries.
- Lemon Juice: 1 teaspoon — brightens the blueberry flavor.
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon — thickens the filling to avoid sogginess.
- Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon — adds a warm and comforting aroma.
- Egg: 1 large — for brushing the tops to create a golden crust.
- Coarse Sugar: 1 tablespoon (optional) — adds sparkle and crunch to the tops.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with paper cups.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Stir until berries are coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Separate the biscuit dough and roll each piece into a 4-inch round.
- Assemble the Dish: Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of blueberry mixture into the center of each round. Fold the edges over and pinch to seal. Place seam side down in the muffin tin.
- Cook to Perfection: Brush each pie bomb with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
- Finishing Touches: Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Chill biscuit dough slightly before sealing to prevent leaking.
- Add a squeeze of lemon zest to brighten the flavor.
- For a festive look, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle glaze after baking.
