Description
These Cherry Pie Bombs are bite-sized, golden treats filled with gooey cherry pie filling and coated in a sweet cinnamon-sugar crust. Easy to make in the oven or air fryer!
Ingredients
- 1 can Grand-style biscuits (avoid flaky layers or crescent dough)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cinnamon-sugar blend
- Optional: pinch of almond extract (added to filling)
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or cardamom (for cinnamon-sugar blend)
Instructions
- Split each biscuit in half horizontally to create 16 circles. Roll each into a 4-inch round.
- Place 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each round. Pinch edges to seal and roll into a ball.
- Brush each ball with melted butter and roll in cinnamon-sugar until coated.
- Air Fryer Method: Lightly oil basket, arrange bombs spaced out, air fry at 330°F for 6–7 minutes, loosen gently, cook 1–2 more minutes until golden.
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment, arrange bombs 2 inches apart, bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm for maximum gooeyness.
Notes
- Seal dough edges well to prevent filling leaks.
- Don’t overfill—1 tbsp per bomb is perfect.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and less sticking.
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on air fryer or oven model.
