Ingredients
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits – I prefer the flaky kind, but any will work!
- ¼ cup blueberry jam or preserves – Use your favorite brand! Homemade is extra special.
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries – For that burst of juicy goodness. Frozen will work in a pinch.
- 4 tablespoons melted butter – Adds richness and a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Optional: powdered sugar – For an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
How to Make It
Let’s get baking! It’s so easy, you’ll be surprised.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – this makes cleanup a breeze!
- Separate those biscuits and gently flatten each one into a roughly 4-inch circle. Don’t worry about making them perfect!
- Spoon about 1½ teaspoons of blueberry jam and 2-3 fresh blueberries into the center of each biscuit. A little extra jam never hurt anyone!
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. You want to create a little ball. Place them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of your pie bombs generously with melted butter. This is key for that beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them – ovens vary!
- Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before dusting with powdered sugar (if you’re feeling fancy!).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Substitutions & Additions
Feel free to get creative!
- Other jams/preserves: Raspberry, strawberry, or even apple would be delicious.
- Add-ins: A sprinkle of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg would complement the blueberries beautifully.
- Glaze: A simple lemon glaze drizzled over the top would be a delightful addition.
Tips for Success
Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way:
- Don’t overfill the biscuits – this can lead to messy spills.
- Seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- For ahead-of-time prep, you can assemble the pie bombs the night before and bake them in the morning. Store them covered in the refrigerator.
How to Store It
Store leftover Blueberry Pie Bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They’re best served warm, but still tasty cold!
