Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Filling Ingredients:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash and Garnish:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups blueberries, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to develop flavors.
- Unroll refrigerated pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cutter to create precise circular shapes.
- Spoon exactly 1 tablespoon of blueberry mixture into the center of each pie crust circle.
- Carefully fold the circles in half, creating a half-moon shape. Press edges firmly with your fingertips to create a complete seal.
- Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon milk to create an egg wash. Gently brush the surface of each pie bomb with the mixture.
- Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F. Arrange pie bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 22 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even golden browning.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie bombs cool for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- Always let the blueberry filling sit and macerate to develop deeper flavor and help thicken the mixture naturally.
- When sealing the pie bombs, press edges firmly with a fork to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pie crust with a gluten-free pastry dough or almond flour-based crust.
- Frozen blueberries work perfectly if fresh aren’t available, just thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing with other ingredients.
