Ingredients
-
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
-
2 (8 oz) tubes crescent roll dough
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
-
Unroll crescent triangles. Spoon 1–2 cherries (plus a bit of syrup) onto the wide end, leaving a ¼” border.
-
Roll into tight crescents, tucking edges inward and pinching tips to seal.
-
Bake 12–15 mins until golden. Rotate halfway for even color.
-
Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and milk until drippy. Drizzle over warm bites.
-
Cool 5 mins before serving (hardest part!).
Notes
-
Keep dough cold to ensure perfect flakiness.
-
Don’t overfill—leave space to seal and prevent cherry lava.
-
If filling leaks, scoop it off promptly to avoid burning.
-
Glaze warm (not hot) bites to prevent melting and browning issues.
