Easy Cherry Pie Bombs are bite-sized pastries filled with sweet cherry filling, coated in buttery cinnamon sugar, and baked or air-fried to golden perfection. Perfect for dessert, snacks, or sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
Dough Base:
- 1 can Grand-style biscuits avoid flaky layers or crescent dough
Cherry Filling:
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- Pinch of almond extract optional
Topping and Coating:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup cinnamon-sugar blend
- Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom optional
Instructions
- Slice biscuits horizontally to make 16 circles and roll each into a 4-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Place 1 tbsp cherry filling in the center, add a pinch of almond extract if desired, and pinch edges to form smooth balls.
- Brush each ball with melted butter and roll in cinnamon-sugar, adding nutmeg or cardamom if desired.
- Lightly oil the basket, space balls apart, and air fry at 330°F for 6–7 minutes. Loosen gently and cook 1–2 more minutes until golden.
- Preheat oven to 375°F, line a sheet with parchment, space balls 2 inches apart, and bake 12–15 minutes until golden and firm.
- Let cool slightly. Serve warm for soft, gooey filling and crispy coating.
