Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons whole milk (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 330°F or oven to 375°F.
- Separate each biscuit into two layers to make 16 circles.
- Flatten each circle into a 4-inch round.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling into the center of each round.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, shaping into a ball.
- Brush each bomb with melted butter.
- For air fryer: place bombs 2 inches apart in a greased basket and air fry for 7–8 minutes. For oven: place in greased muffin tin or on parchment-lined sheet and bake for 12–14 minutes.
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to make glaze.
- Once bombs are golden and slightly cooled, dip or drizzle with glaze.
- Let the glaze set and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Don’t overfill to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, omit glaze and freeze after baking. Glaze when ready to serve.
- Try with apple, blueberry, or peach fillings for variety.
- Use puff pastry or crescent dough for different textures.
