5. Step 5: Spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
6. Step 6: Place the pie bombs in the air fryer basket about 2 inches apart, working in batches if necessary.
7. Step 7: Air fry at 330°F for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Step 8: Remove from the air fryer and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the blueberry filling before filling the biscuits.
• Try other pie fillings like cherry, apple, or peach for variety.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, bake at 375°F in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Storage

Store any leftover blueberry pie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 300°F for 3-5 minutes until warmed through and crisp.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of biscuit dough?

Yes, but avoid using flaky layered biscuit dough as it won’t hold the filling well. Pillsbury Grand biscuits work best for this recipe.

Can I freeze these pie bombs?

Absolutely! Freeze the unbaked balls on a tray until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
