No reviews

These cherry pie bombs are bite-sized treats filled with gooey cherry pie filling and rolled in cinnamon sugar—easy to make in the oven or air fryer.

Ingredients

1 can Grand-style biscuits (avoid flaky layers or crescent dough)

1 cup cherry pie filling

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

½ cup cinnamon-sugar blend

Optional: pinch of almond extract (mixed into filling)

Optional: pinch of nutmeg or cardamom (added to cinnamon-sugar)

Instructions

Split each biscuit in half horizontally to create 16 rounds. Roll each into a 4-inch circle.

Place 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling in the center of each round. Pinch edges tightly to seal and roll into a ball.

Brush each ball with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar until fully coated.

Air Fryer Method:

Lightly oil basket.

Arrange bombs with space between them.

Air fry at 330°F for 6–7 minutes. Loosen gently, then cook 1–2 more minutes until golden.

Oven Method:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange bombs 2 inches apart and bake 12–15 minutes, until golden.

Let cool slightly before serving warm for gooey centers.

Notes

Seal edges well to prevent cherry filling leaks.

Don’t overfill—1 tbsp filling per bomb is perfect.

Parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven or air fryer.
