History
Miniature pastries and hand pies have existed for centuries, but the concept of “pie bombs” gained popularity with the rise of TikTok and Instagram food trends. The idea is simple: stuff pre-made dough with sweet or savory fillings, bake, and enjoy a flavor explosion in every bite. The blueberry version is a summer favorite, inspired by classic American blueberry pie.
