Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

Assembling the Pie Bombs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Blueberry Filling

  • In a small saucepan, add blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir.
  • Heat over medium heat until blueberries burst and thickens.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembling the Pie Bombs

  • Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface, pinch the seams together, and roll out just until smooth.
  • Cut dough into 2½-3 inch squares.
  • Add a tablespoon of blueberry filling into the center of the dough. Fold up the two ends then fold the sides over each other and pinch together to seal.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add a few pie bombs at a time into the hot oil and flash fry them until golden.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper plate lined with paper towels.
  • Next, place the fried pie bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, and once cool enough to handle, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
  • Dust each pie bomb with powdered sugar right before serving.

Notes

Tips

  • Stir your filling constantly while cooking it to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Don't roll your crescent dough too much. You just need to roll it enough to smooth it out.
  • Don't crowd your pan when you fry the bombs. You want to keep the oil nice and hot.
  • Be sure your oil is fully preheated before frying the bombs. Again, the oil should be hot.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 3 months.
To reheat the bombs, defrost them if frozen. Then, microwave your desired amount at 30-second intervals until heated through.
