Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes 12–16 pie bombs)
For the Filling:
2 cups (300g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
1 tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional but lovely)
Pinch of salt
For the Dough & Finish:
1 (17.3 oz) package refrigerated puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
(Or 1 tube crescent roll dough for a softer texture)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Coarse sugar (like turbinado), for sprinkling
💡 Pro Tips:
Toss blueberries with cornstarch—prevents leaks and thickens filling.
Keep dough cold—easier to work with and bakes flakier.
Seal edges tightly—use a fork to crimp and prevent bursting.
Step-by-Step Instructions (Flaky, Juicy, Foolproof)
1. Make the Filling
In a bowl, gently mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
Let sit 5–10 minutes (berries will release juices—cornstarch will thicken them).
2. Prep the Dough
Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Roll each into a 10x10-inch square (if needed).
Cut into 3-inch circles (use a biscuit cutter or glass).
3. Assemble the Bombs
Place 1½–2 tsp filling in the center of each circle.
Brush edges with water or egg wash.
Fold dough over to form a half-moon. Press edges firmly.
Use a fork to crimp and seal completely.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Brush tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, until deep golden and puffed.
Cool 5–10 minutes (filling is molten hot!).

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
Fridge: Keep unbaked bombs covered up to 24 hours.

Reheat: 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes (never microwave—it makes pastry soggy).
Frequently Asked Questions
