How to make Cherry Pie Bombs in the Air Fryer

Put the cinnamon and sugar into a bowl. Set aside.

Open the can of biscuits and peel each biscuit into two layers. Using a rolling pin roll each layer into a 4-inch circle, you will end up with 16 circles.

A biscuit broken in half and rolled out onto a cutting board.

Spoon about a tablespoon of the cherry pie filling into the center of each circle.

Pull the sides together and pinch to seal, then roll them into balls.

FAQs

What kind of canned biscuits should I use?

There is not set kind, just find what you like best. I like to use the Grands size biscuits. You could also make this with the canned pie crust dough.

Can I drizzle with icing?

Absolutely! These would taste great with a cream cheese frosting drizzled across the top.

How much pie filling should I add to the dough?

If you love cherries like me it may be tempting but don’t overfill your dough. Just one tablespoon will be enough to get that great flavor without the mess.

Can I stack them on top of each other to cook in the Air Fryer?

These are best cooked one layer at a time, you can cook the second batch while the first is cooling (and being eaten by everyone who smells them).

We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! It’s a fun and easy dessert that the whole family will enjoy.
