Description
These delicious cherry pie bombs are bite-sized desserts that pack all the flavors of a classic cherry pie into a flaky, golden biscuit dough. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or just a sweet treat at home, they’re quick and easy to make with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Fill with Cherry Pie Filling: Place 1-2 cherries with a little filling (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each dough round. Be careful not to overfill.
- Seal the Dough: Bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal. Roll gently into a smooth ball.
- Bake: Place the sealed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Coat with Butter and Sugar: While the bombs are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once baked, brush the warm bombs with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle with icing or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- These can also be made in an air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
