Ingredients:

For the Blueberry Filling:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pie Bombs:

• 1 package (2 sheets) store-bought puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries begin to burst, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 3: Prepare the Pie Bombs

1. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
2. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares, for a total of 18 squares.
3. Place a spoonful of the cooled blueberry filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
4. Fold the corners of each square towards the center, pinching the edges to seal and form a small pouch.
5. Place the filled pie bombs seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

Step 4: Brush with Egg Wash and Sprinkle with Sugar

1. Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash.
2. Brush the tops of the pie bombs with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
3. Sprinkle the tops of the pie bombs with granulated sugar for added sweetness and a golden finish.

Step 5: Bake the Pie Bombs

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pie bombs are puffed up and golden brown.
2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Serve the blueberry pie bombs warm as a delicious dessert or snack.
2. Enjoy the burst of sweetness with every bite!
