What is A Bubble Up Pie?

A Bubble Up Pie is a casserole or baked dish popular for its simplicity, versatility, and delicious taste. The name “Bubble Up” refers to how the dish rises or “bubbles up” during baking, creating a fluffy and appealing texture. This effect is typically achieved by using cut-up refrigerated biscuit dough or a similar type of dough that expands and becomes light and airy when cooked.

Key Characteristics of Cherry Bubble-Up Pie

  • Use of Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: Pre-made refrigerated biscuit dough is the primary ingredient that makes a Bubble Up Pie unique. This dough is cut into pieces and arranged in a baking dish.
  • Combination with Other Ingredients: The biscuit dough pieces are typically mixed or topped with other ingredients. These include meats (like cooked ground beef or sausage), vegetables, cheeses, and sauces (like tomato sauce, cream soups, or gravy).
  • Casserole-Style Dish: Bubble Up Pie is often layered or mixed in a casserole-style, making it a hearty and filling dish.
  • Easy and Quick to Prepare: Using pre-made biscuit dough and simple additional ingredients makes Bubble Up Pie an easy and quick option for a satisfying meal.

How To Make Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bubble Up

Making Cherry Pie Bubble Up in an air fryer is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a classic dessert with a twist. Here’s how you can create this treat:

Biscuit Dough Cut Up

Start by spraying your tart pan with cooking spray. Pour the cherry pie filling into a small mixing bowl. Then, cut the biscuits into 4 pieces (1 biscuit into 4 pieces). Place the cut biscuits into the pie filling.

Toss the biscuits and the cherry pie filing.

Cherry Pie Filling In Pan

Pour into the prepared pie pan (tart pan). Set the pan into the air fryer oven or place it in the air fryer basket.

Set the temperature to 320 degrees (air fryer setting) for 12 -16 minutes until the bottom is fully cooked. (for best results, mix halfway during the cooking process so both sides get equally cooked)

Recipe Variations

This recipe will work with any pie filing, including:

  • Apple Pie Filling
  • Peach Pie Filling
  • Strawberry Pie Filling
  • Raspberry Pie Filling

Storing

If you have any leftover Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bubble Up, let it cool to room temperature and place it in an airtight container. Place the container into the refrigerator, where it will last for 2 to 3 days.

What Pan To Make This In?

If you want to make this, I recommend using a thin pan. I typically use a quiche, which is thinner than most pans, allowing both sides to cook up evenly.

If you do not have a quiche or tart pan, mix the Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bubble Up about 1/2 way during the cooking process so both sides get fully cooked.
