Cherry Pie Bombs are like mini, bite-sized cherry pies with a flaky crust and cherry pie filling that are made in an air fryer. This recipe offers a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious fruit dessert.
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 biscuits Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted

For the Glaze

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3.5 tablespoons whole milk room temperature

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Remove the biscuits from the can and peel to separate each into two layers. Press each layer of biscuit into a 4-inch circle. (You will have 16 circles.)
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cherry pie filling into the center of each circle.
  • Use your fingers to fold the sides together, pinching to seal. Shape into balls. Make sure the dough is the same thickness all around for even cooking.
  • Brush the tops and bottoms of the bombs with melted butter.
  • Spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Working in batches, place the bombs into an air fryer basket about 2 inches apart.
  • Air fry at 330°F for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the pie bombs from the air fryer to let them cool slightly. As they are cooling, make the glaze.

Glaze and Serving

  • To make the glaze, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Whisk together until smooth. Add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Dip or roll each cherry pie bomb in the glaze. Place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Let the glaze firm up. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For an oven-baked alternative, place pie bombs on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Adjust cooking time based on your oven.
