How to Make Blueberry Pie Bombs
Step 1: Make the Blueberry Filling
In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring until thickened.
Let cool for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces.
Flatten each piece into a 3-inch round with your hands.
Step 3: Fill & Seal
Place 1 teaspoon of cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of blueberry filling in the center of each round.
Fold the dough edges up and pinch tightly to seal—make sure no filling leaks out.
Step 4: Coat & Bake
Dip each dough ball into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serving Tips
