Blueberry Pie Bombs are rounds of biscuit dough filled with blueberry pie filling, brushed with melted butter, sprinkled with sugar, and cooked in an air fryer! Try my Air Fryer Apple Pie Bombs or Cherry Pie Bombs for more fun treats!
Blueberry Pie Bombs
If you want a burst of blueberry flavor in every bite, these pie bombs are for you! With just four ingredients and an air fryer, you can have a sweet treat that is as easy to make as it is delicious! It’s like a blueberry pie without all the fuss of making one!
Ingredients
Biscuits: Look for a can of Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not the flaky layers variety). It makes this dessert super easy and they fry up to a nice golden brown color in the air fryer. You could also make these with pie crust dough, puff pastry dough (without the cinnamon), or even crescent roll dough. If you use a different kind of dough, the cooking times may vary a bit.
Blueberry Filling: All you need is a cup of blueberry pie filling. Store-bought and homemade both work great.
Can I Make Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling?
Yes! If you don’t want to use a can of pie filling, you can make your own. Use the filling from my No-Bake Blueberry Pie. You will have some of the filling left over; store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I Bake These in the Oven?
Sure! To bake the bombs in the oven, follow the directions up to adding the bombs into the air fryer. Instead, place them into the cups of a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 12-14 minutes at 375°F. They will not get quite as golden brown compared to the air fryer, but they are just as yummy!
Can I Deep Fry Blueberry Pie Bombs?
We did not like these deep fried, they tasted like oil and not blueberry.
How to Store & Freeze Blueberry Pie Bombs
Cook them as instructed. Then, let the pie bombs come to room temperature. Once at room temperature, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I recommend heating them up in the microwave before serving; they are best when warm.
To freeze, let the pie bombs come to room temperature. Then, freeze them on a baking sheet until frozen. Once frozen, store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Be sure to label and date the bag.
Can I Use a Different Kind of Pie Filling?
Definitely! Use your favorite kind of pie filling to add to this treat. Some of my favorites are peach pie filling, apple pie filling, raspberry pie filling, and cherry pie filling.
Can I Add Cream Cheese to Pie Bombs?
Yes! You can either spread room-temperature cream cheese over each biscuit before adding the pie filling or you can cube cold cream cheese and add a cube (or two) to each pie bomb before sealing.
Blueberry Pie Bombs
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits, not flaky layers

Instructions
- Remove the biscuits from the can and peel to separate each biscuit into two layers. Pat each layer of biscuit into a 4-inch circle. (You will have 16 circles.)
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the blueberry pie filling into the center of each circle.
- Use your fingers to fold the sides together, pinching to seal. Shape into balls.
- Brush the tops and the bottoms of the bombs with the melted butter and sprinkle each with sugar.
- Spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
- Working in batches, place the bombs into an air fryer basket about 2 inches apart.

How do you do these in a convection oven? or regular oven?
This is what it says in the blog post right above the recipe. Can I Bake These in the Oven?
Sure! To bake the bombs in the oven, follow the directions up to adding the bombs into the air fryer. Instead, place them into the cups of a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 12-14 minutes at 375°F.

Maybe add cupcake liner
s instead of spraying with pam
Love the recipes, always delicious, thanks Amanda
Wonder if you could add a dollop of cheesecake mixture under the blueberry pie filling before sealing up 🧐 cheesecake blueberry bomb 💙💣
Can I have a biscuit recipe to use instead please and thank you.
Hi Amanda,
I made these tonight. They are so delicious 😊
I do have a question for you. How do you get them rolled into a ball so that the filling doesn’t ooze out? I made my own pie filling with fresh Blueberries and made it thicker. I was thinking of freezing or partially freezing the filling next time before I put on the rounds of dough.
Thank you in advance, Tracy
Made these with what I had on hand…apple pie filling and crescent rollls. Absolutely amazing!! I sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar before I cooked them. Served with vanilla ice cream while warm. Yummmmmm
Hi Amanda, I love this recipe but I was wondering that when I roll it into a ball will the filling come out?
