How to Make Blueberry Pie Bombs (Step-by-Step)
These Pie Bombs are as simple as they are delicious — just four easy steps stand between you and warm, flaky bites of blueberry bliss.
Step 1 – Prep the Dough
Start by popping open your biscuit can (the most satisfying part, right?). Gently flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your fingers or a rolling pin. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect — homemade charm makes the best Pie!
Step 2 – Add the Filling
Spoon about one tablespoon of blueberry pie filling into the center of each dough circle. Carefully pull the edges together and pinch to seal, forming a tight little ball. Make sure it’s sealed well so the filling doesn’t leak out while baking.
Step 3 – Cook Until Golden
You can bake, fry, or air-fry your Blueberry Pie Bombs — whichever you prefer!
- Air Fryer: 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes
- Oven: 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes
- Frying: 2–3 minutes per side in hot oil until golden brown
They’re ready when they’re puffed up, golden, and smell heavenly.
Step 4 – Coat and Glaze
While still warm, brush each pie with melted butter and roll it in your cinnamon-sugar mix. For an extra treat, drizzle your glaze over the top and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Pro Tip
If you’re air-frying, line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking — it keeps your blueberry biscuit bombs perfectly shaped.
Tips for the Perfect Pie Bombs
Making Blueberry Pie Bombs is already super easy, but a few simple tricks can help you get that bakery-quality result every single time. Whether you bake or air fry them, these tips will make your little pies turn out golden, flaky, and perfectly gooey inside.
- Don’t overfill the dough. A teaspoon of filling is enough — too much, and your Blueberry Pie Bombs may burst open while cooking.
- Seal tightly. Pinch the edges really well so that all that sweet blueberry filling stays tucked inside.
- Keep dough cold. It’s easier to shape and seal when it’s chilled.
- Use parchment paper in your air fryer or baking tray to avoid sticking.
- Add a flavor twist. A pinch of lemon zest or a drizzle of glaze can take your Blueberry Pie Bombs from delicious to unforgettable!
Delicious Variations to Try
Once you’ve mastered blueberry biscuit bombs, it’s time to get creative! You can easily switch up the filling, drizzle, or glaze to make a new flavor every time. These ideas are perfect for when you want something different but still crave that flaky, golden texture that makes Blueberry Pie Bombs so addictive.
Fun Flavor Variations
| Flavor Name | Pie Filling | Sweet Topping | Flavor Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Cinnamon Bombs | Apple pie filling | Caramel drizzle | Cozy and classic |
| Strawberry Shortcake Bombs | Strawberry filling | Whipped cream | Fresh and fruity |
| Peach Delight Bombs | Peach slices + sugar | Vanilla glaze | Sweet summer twist |
| Chocolate Berry Bombs | Blueberry + chocolate chips | Cocoa glaze | Rich and indulgent |
| Cherry Cheesecake Bombs | Cherry + cream cheese | Powdered sugar | Sweet & tangy |
Experimenting with flavors is part of the fun! You can even mix a spoonful of lemon curd with your blueberry filling to make Lemon blueberry mini pastries — a fresh, zesty upgrade you’ll absolutely love.
Serving & Storage Tips
Freshly baked Blueberry Pie Bombs taste their absolute best when they’re still warm — that’s when the filling is gooey, the crust is crisp, and every bite melts in your mouth. Serve them with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of vanilla glaze, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
If you have leftovers (which rarely happens!), let your blueberry dessert bites cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to four.
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, pop your Blueberry Pie Bombs into the air fryer for 2–3 minutes or in the oven at 350°F for a quick reheat — they’ll come out perfectly crispy and warm all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of pie filling?
Yes! You can easily make your own blueberry filling using frozen berries. Just cook them with sugar, a squeeze of lemon, and a bit of cornstarch until thickened. Once cooled, they’ll work perfectly for your Pie Bombs and taste even fresher.
Can I make Blueberry Pie Bombs ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can assemble your Pie a day in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator. When you’re ready, just bake or air fry — they’ll come out warm, flaky, and delicious without any prep stress.
How can I make my Blueberry Pie Bombs less sweet?
If you prefer a lighter dessert, skip the glaze or reduce the sugar in the coating. You can also use unsweetened blueberry filling for a more balanced flavor. Either way, your mini blueberry pies will still be full of fruity goodness.
Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuit dough?
Yes! Puff pastry gives your Pie Bombs an even flakier, bakery-style finish. Just remember to seal the edges well and reduce baking time slightly since puff pastry cooks faster.

Yes, an air fryer works perfectly for Pie Bombs! Cook at 350°F for 8–9 minutes until they’re golden and puffy. It’s a faster and cleaner method with that same crisp, flaky finish.
Can I use homemade blueberry filling instead of canned?
Absolutely. Homemade blueberry filling gives these little pies a fresher, richer flavor. Simmer blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until thick, then let it cool before using.
