How to Store Cherry Pie Bombs
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up.
Tips to Make Cherry Pie Bombs
- Make sure to seal the edges of the biscuits well before frying. This keeps the filling from leaking out.
- If you want a crunchier texture, fry them a little longer, just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
- Experiment with different pie fillings like apple or blueberry if you want to switch it up!
Variation
You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cherry filling for a little extra flavor. Or try other fruit fillings to create a mixed bomb treat!
