1. **Preheat Your Oven**:
Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)** and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that your pie bombs bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
2. **Prepare the Blueberry Filling**:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the **blueberries**, **sugar**, **cornstarch**, **lemon juice**, and **vanilla extract**. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the blueberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens, about **5-7 minutes**. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4. **Fill the Biscuits**:
Place a small spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of each flattened biscuit, about **1 to 2 tablespoons**. Be careful not to overfill, as this could cause the filling to spill out while baking. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the dough together to seal it into a round “bomb” shape. Ensure that the edges are fully sealed so the filling stays inside.
5. **Brush with Egg Wash**:
Once the bombs are sealed, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each one with the beaten **egg wash**. This will give the pie bombs a beautiful, golden finish when baked.
7. **Cool and Serve**:
Once baked, remove the pie bombs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, dust the tops with a light sprinkle of **powdered sugar** for an extra touch of sweetness.
### Tips for the Best Blueberry Pie Bombs
– **Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries**: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw and drain them before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
– **Add Spice**: For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blueberry filling. This adds a subtle spice that complements the sweetness of the blueberries beautifully.
– **Make Ahead**: These pie bombs can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake them. Just be sure to add the egg wash before baking.
