Ingredients
Dough
To make the dough for the blueberry pie bombs, you will need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
For the delicious blueberry filling, you will need:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Making the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preparing the Filling
In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Assembling the Blueberry Pie Bombs
Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out into a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough. Place a spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
Step 4: Air Frying the Pie Bombs
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled pie bombs in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each one. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the pie bombs turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These blueberry pie bombs are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. They are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack.
