Peach Pie Bombs Recipe

If you’re searching for a quick dessert bursting with summer flavor, Peach Pie Bombs will absolutely thrill you! These delightful bites have all the nostalgia of homemade peach pie, wrapped up in golden biscuit dough, and come together in just minutes without any fuss. Crispy on the outside, gooey and juicy on the inside, and drenched in a simple sweet glaze, Peach Pie Bombs are set to become the star of your dessert table — or, let’s be honest, your afternoon snack attack.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of Peach Pie Bombs is in their simplicity. Each ingredient works its magic to create a treat that’s sweet, tender, and downright irresistible. Here’s how every component brings something delicious to the party:

• Pillsbury Grand Biscuits: These sturdy, fluffy biscuits are the perfect cheat for dough that bakes up golden and pillowy, holding all that luscious filling.
• Peach pie filling: Juicy peaches in syrupy goodness supply the fruity heart of every bomb and infuse each bite with summery flavor.
• Unsalted butter: Brushing on melted butter before air frying creates a rich, golden crust and adds that irresistible homemade warmth.
• Confectioners’ sugar: The base of your glaze, it melts into a smooth, snowy finish that sweetens and shines.
• Whole milk: Just a splash or two thins out the glaze to the perfect consistency for dipping and drizzling.

How to Make Peach Pie Bombs

Step 1: Prep the Dough

Start by popping open your can of biscuits and carefully splitting each one in half, creating two layers from each biscuit. Press each half into a flat circle, about 4 inches wide. This is your canvas — you should have 16 dough rounds, all ready to be filled!

Step 2: Add the Peach Pie Filling

Place a generous tablespoon of peach pie filling in the center of each circle. Don’t be shy, but make sure you leave enough room around the edge to seal the dough. That syrupy filling is the star, so every bite is a burst of peachy joy.

Step 3: Shape and Seal the Bombs

Bring the edges of the dough up over the filling and gently pinch them together, making sure the seams are good and tight. A secure seal helps lock in all that gooey fruit. Give each ball a gentle roll between your palms so the dough is even all around and there are no thin spots.

Step 4: Butter Up!

Brush the tops and bottoms of each Peach Pie Bomb with melted butter. This not only boosts flavor, but also encourages a beautifully crisp, golden finish in the air fryer.

Step 5: Air Fry to Golden Perfection

Spray your air fryer basket lightly with nonstick spray, then arrange the pie bombs seam-side down and at least 2 inches apart. Work in batches if needed. Air fry at 330°F for 7 to 8 minutes until they’re evenly browned. They should smell amazing by now!

Step 6: Glaze and Finish

While the Peach Pie Bombs cool slightly, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and milk to make your glaze. Dip or roll each warm bomb in the glaze, letting any excess drip off, and rest on a wire rack to let the glaze set. The result? Shiny, sweet goodness in every bite, ready to enjoy!

How to Serve Peach Pie Bombs

Garnishes

Sprinkle the still-wet glaze with a little cinnamon sugar, a handful of toasted sliced almonds, or even a light dusting of extra confectioners’ sugar for a pretty finishing touch that adds sparkle and texture to each Peach Pie Bomb.

Side Dishes

You can serve Peach Pie Bombs with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or even some fresh berries on the side—each one plays up that sweet, summery vibe and creates a well-rounded dessert plate.

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange the glazed bombs in a rustic basket lined with a tea towel for a picnic feel, or stack them on a tiered cake stand for an elegant party presentation. For an extra-special touch, try skewering them and serving as Peach Pie “kabobs” for dunking into extra glaze or caramel sauce.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, let Peach Pie Bombs cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to five days. The glaze helps lock in moisture, so they’ll stay soft and delicious.

Freezing

Peach Pie Bombs are freezer-friendly! Place the bombs (un-glazed is best) in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to three months. Glaze after reheating for best texture.

Reheating

To restore their cozy, fresh-baked goodness, warm Peach Pie Bombs in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes, or in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes. If reheating from frozen, add an extra minute or two. Glaze after warming if not already glazed, or just enjoy as-is!

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?

Yes, you definitely can! If you enjoy making dough from scratch, go for it—the result will be even more tender and personal. Just make sure your dough is sturdy enough to wrap around the filling without tearing.

Can I swap out peach pie filling for another flavor?

Absolutely! Try apple, cherry, blueberry, or even a mix for fun combinations. The method stays the same, so pick your favorite fruit filling and make it your own.

Do I need an air fryer, or can I bake these instead?

No air fryer? No problem! Bake the Peach Pie Bombs in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-17 minutes, until golden and puffed. The texture is still fantastic—you’ll just need a few extra minutes.

How do I keep the filling from leaking out during cooking?

The trick is to seal the seams really well and ensure your dough circles aren’t too thin. If any filling sneaks out, don’t worry—the glaze covers all, and those slightly caramelized edges taste amazing!

Can I make Peach Pie Bombs ahead of time and glaze later?

Yes, you can bake or air fry the bombs ahead and store them unglazed. When you’re ready to serve, whip up the glaze and dip away—they’ll taste freshly made and look extra shiny.

Final Thoughts

Once you try these Peach Pie Bombs, you’ll understand why they’re such a treasured treat. Whether you’re sharing them with friends at a summer barbecue or sneaking one for breakfast with your coffee, they always hit the spot. Give them a whirl and let their cheerful sweetness brighten your day!
