How to Make Cherry Pie Bombs

Making Cherry Pie Bombs is simple and fun. Follow the steps below to create these delightful treats from scratch.

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil for frying
1 (16.3-ounce) can of Grands ‘Big’ biscuits, flaky
1 (21-ounce) can of cherry pie filling
2 cups of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of light corn syrup

Directions:

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Open the can of biscuits and separate them.
Flatten each biscuit and place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center.
Fold the biscuit over to seal it, pinching the edges together.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the filled biscuits in, frying until golden brown on all sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup to create a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm Cherry Pie Bombs before serving.

How to Serve Cherry Pie Bombs

Serve Cherry Pie Bombs warm with a little extra glaze on top. They make a great dessert after dinner or a sweet snack any time of the day. You can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!

How to Store Cherry Pie Bombs

If you have any leftovers (which is rare, but it can happen!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can keep them in the fridge for up to a week. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy them warm again.

Tips to Make Cherry Pie Bombs

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; this will help the bombs cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
Pinch the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out while frying.
Feel free to adjust the glaze sweetness to your liking by adding more or less powdered sugar.

Variation

You can easily switch up the filling. Try using apple pie filling, blueberry filling, or even chocolate chips for a different flavor twist!

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of biscuit?
Yes, you can use any flaky biscuit dough you like. Just make sure it’s easy to flatten and seal.

2. How do I know when the oil is hot enough?
You can drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles right away, the oil is ready.

3. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! You can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Just brush the tops with a little butter for extra flavor.
