Spray the top of the balls with your cooking spray.

Carefully remove the Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bombs from the air fryer, roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and serve.

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).
