Cherry Pie Bombs are a fun and delicious treat that combines the flavors of a classic cherry pie in a bite-sized form. These golden, crispy bombs are filled with sweet cherry pie filling and can be enjoyed as a dessert or a special snack.
📋 Ingredients:
For the Bombs:
🍞 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
🍒 1 cup cherry pie filling
🍚 1/4 cup granulated sugar
🌰 1 tsp ground cinnamon
🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze (Optional):
🍚 1/2 cup powdered sugar
🥛 1-2 tbsp milk
🍦 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
📝 Directions:
Prepare the Bombs:
- Preheat Oven: 🔥 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Dough: 🍞 Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Fill the Bombs: 🍒 Place about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill to avoid the filling leaking out during baking.
- Seal the Bombs: 🍞 Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal completely. Roll each filled dough ball in your hands to smooth out the seams and form a round shape.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: 🌰 In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush each bomb with melted butter and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Bake: 🔥 Place the prepared bombs on the baking sheet, seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Make the Glaze (Optional):
- Mix the Glaze: 🍚 In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the Glaze: 🍒 Once the cherry pie bombs are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each one.
Serve:
🍽️ Serve Warm: Serve the Cherry Pie Bombs warm, with or without the glaze. They’re perfect on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
