Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package puff pastry – Thawed, store-bought for ease.
  • 1 can cherry pie filling – Or homemade if you prefer.
  • 1 large egg – Beaten, for egg wash for a golden finish.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) – To enhance sweetness. Optional ingredient.
  • powdered sugar as needed powdered sugar (optional) – For dusting on top after baking. Optional for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into about 4 squares.
  2. Place a tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each square. If desired, add a touch of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  3. Fold the squares over the filling to create triangles or pockets. Press the edges together firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
  4. Brush the tops of each pie bomb with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the bombs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
  2. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
