The Blueberry Pie Bombs Grandma Made

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that your pie bombs bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
2. Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the blueberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the package of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. You’ll need to flatten each biscuit into a small round disk. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to gently flatten each biscuit until it’s about 3-4 inches in diameter. The dough should be soft and easy to shape.
4. Fill the Biscuits: Place a small spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of each flattened biscuit, about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Be careful not to overfill, as this could cause the filling to spill out while baking. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the dough together to seal it into a round “bomb” shape. Ensure that the edges are fully sealed so the filling stays inside.
5. Brush with Egg Wash: Once the bombs are sealed, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each one with the beaten egg wash. This will give the pie bombs a beautiful, golden finish when baked.
6. Bake the Pie Bombs: Bake the Blueberry Pie Bombs in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling inside. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake. The aroma that fills your kitchen as they bake is almost as irresistible as the taste!
7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pie bombs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, dust the tops with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
8. Enjoy!: Serve your Blueberry Pie Bombs warm with a side of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent treat. They’re perfect on their own, too, as a quick snack or dessert after a meal.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Pie Bombs

• Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your blueberries, you can adjust the sugar in the filling. If you’re using tart blueberries, feel free to add a bit more sugar to balance the flavors.
• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw and drain them before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
• Add Spice: For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blueberry filling. This adds a subtle spice that complements the sweetness of the blueberries beautifully.
• Try Other Fruits: While blueberries are the star in this recipe, you can experiment with other fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. Or mix a few together for a berry medley pie bomb!
• Make Ahead: These pie bombs can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake them. Just be sure to add the egg wash before baking.
