Cherry Pie Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your pie bombs will bake evenly and turn golden brown.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier after baking.
- Separate the biscuits from the can and flatten each into a round disc. This will be the base of your pie bombs. You can use a rolling pin or just your hands to spread out the dough.
- Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal. This keeps all the sweet filling inside where it belongs.
- Place the pie bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching so they have room to expand as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the pie bombs are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. This allows the filling to set a bit, making them easier to handle.
- Dust with powdered sugar while they’re still warm. The sugar not only adds sweetness but also gives these treats a beautiful, finished look.
