Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • nonstick baking spray
  • spoon
  • small bowl
  • fork
  • measuring cup
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Southern Style Biscuits
  • ½ cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons water or milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Unwrap biscuit dough and separate biscuits. Using the palm of your hand press each circle out to make it larger.
  • Fill each space with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling.
  • Next, bring up the edges of the dough to form a pinched ball (see image) around the filling. Place seam-side down in the greased muffin pan.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes. The dough will be golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. They should easily pop out, but if not, a plastic knif gently inserted around the edges of the dough should help lift them out.

Glaze

  • Mix powdered sugar with water and whisk until smooth and thick. If your mixture is too thick add a teaspoon more of water/milk. If it is too thin, add a tablespoon more of powdered sugar until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Gently dip the top of each cherry pie bomb into the glaze and return it to the cooling rack, or a plate. Enjoy warm!
