Cherry Pie Bombs are a delightful handheld dessert featuring flaky biscuit dough filled with sweet cherry pie filling, baked to golden perfection, then coated in a luscious glaze made of melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, and milk. This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for berry lovers craving a warm, gooey treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Bombs

  • 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits (not flaky layers)
  • 1 cup (255 g) cherry pie filling

Glaze

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (250 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 3–4 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare it for baking the bombs.
  2. Prepare the biscuit dough: Separate the Pillsbury Grand biscuits from the can and flatten each biscuit dough gently with your hands or a rolling pin to create space for the cherry filling.
  3. Add the filling: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling into the center of each flattened biscuit.
  4. Seal the bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching them securely to seal and form a ball shape. Ensure there are no openings for the filling to leak.
  5. Bake the bombs: Place the filled and sealed biscuit balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Prepare the glaze: While the bombs bake, combine the melted unsalted butter, confectioners’ sugar, and whole milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and the glaze reaches a pourable consistency, adding more milk if necessary.
  7. Glaze the bombs: Once the bombs are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately dip or brush them generously with the prepared glaze while they are still warm, allowing the glaze to soak in slightly.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these Cherry Pie Bombs warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use Pillsbury Grand biscuits, not flaky layers, for best texture and sealing capability.
  • Seal dough edges tightly to prevent filling leakage while baking.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less milk according to preference.
  • Serve warm for gooey filling; refrigerate leftovers and reheat before serving.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like apple or blueberry for variations.
